French Open 2026: Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun win all-Malaysian final to end 22-year wait

Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun are the French Open 2026 men's doubles champions. The world No 11 pair came from a game down to beat compatriots Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani 13-21, 21-15, 21-7 in an all-Malaysian final at the Arena Grand Paris on Sunday, 25 October.

It is the first time since 2004 that a Malaysian pair has won the French Open men's doubles title. The last Malaysians to do it were Gan Teik Chai and Koo Kien Keat.

The final was decided in a one-sided third game after Goh and Nur Izzuddin, ranked world No 5, had taken the opener. For Wei Chong and Kai Wun it is their first title since they won the Malaysia Masters last year.

The champions take home US$70,300 (about RM287,000) in prize money.

Malaysia had pairs in three of the five finals in Paris. The other two ended in defeat:

• Women's doubles: Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah won the first game 21-10 but lost 21-10, 17-21, 16-21 to Japan's top seeds and defending champions, Yuki Fukushima and Mayu Matsumoto.
• Mixed doubles: Hoo Pang Ron and Lai Pei Jing lost 10-21, 13-21 to China's top seeds Feng Yan Zhe and Huang Dong Ping.
