Hot Tang Jie-Ee Wei hope to spice it up for Paris
PETALING JAYA: There is no time to relax for mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei.

After having qualified for the Paris Olympics, Tang Jie-Ee Wei are stepping up a gear in their preparations.

“We have just qualified for the Olympics – not that we have already become the Olympics champions. So there is no time to relax. In fact, the pressure is more intense after qualifying,” said Tang Jie.

The duo are currently focusing well in the Malaysian Masters (May 21-26) especially with the absence of the world’s top pairs.

“Although every tournament is important for us, preparation is also necessary.”

Tang Jie-Ee Wei are seeded second behind world No. 6 Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand while Denmark’s Mathias Christiansen-Alexandra Boje of Denmark are the third and fourth seeds respectively.

Indonesia’s Rinov Rivaldy-Pitha Haningtyas are the other pair who could stop the Malaysians from winning the title.

Tang Jie-Ee Wei have also beaten Dechapol-Sapsiree twice in their career and this should give them a chance to win the Malaysian Masters.

However, Tang Jie-Ee Wei should also be mindful that they lost in the first round to Rinov-Pitha in the first round and would want to look at the draw, which will be released next week, to gauge their chances this time.
