French Open 2026: Malaysia guaranteed a men's doubles semi-finalist as five pairs reach the quarter-finals

Five Malaysian pairs reached the quarter-finals of the French Open 2026, which runs from 20 to 25 October at the Arena Grand Paris, and the men's doubles draw has already guaranteed Malaysia a place in the semi-finals.

World No 4 pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik meet compatriots Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun in the last eight, so one Malaysian pair is certain to reach the semi-finals.

• Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani came through a three-game second round against Denmark's Daniel Lundgaard and Mads Vestergaard, 21-6, 14-21, 21-18. Next for them are South Korea's world No 1 pair Kim Won-ho and Seo Seung-jae.
• Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah won an all-Malaysian women's doubles match against Ong Xin Yee and Carmen Ting 21-14, 22-20, and face Bulgarian sisters Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva in the quarter-finals.
• Hoo Pang Ron and Lai Pei Jing are the Malaysian pair left in the mixed doubles quarter-finals.

The quarter-finals were played on Friday 23 October, with the semi-finals on Saturday and the finals on Sunday 25 October.
