World No.2 mixed pair Jiang Zhen Bang and Wei Ya Xin will play their first match together in three months at SANDS CHINA LTD. Macau Open 2026.

Following their quarterfinal exit at the All England, Jiang/Wei withdrew from the Badminton Asia Championships. Wei subsequently partnered Gao Jia Xuan at four tournaments, claiming the Malaysia Masters title in Kuala Lumpur last month.

The Macau Open will be Jiang/Wei’s fifth tournament of the season. Their best result so far was a runners-up finish at the Malaysia Open in January, while their most recent title together came at the Arctic Open last October.

Jiang/Wei open their campaign against the Malaysian-American combination of Lim Ming Hong and Stella Pan on Wednesday.

The Macau Open will also mark Paris 2024 men’s singles bronze medallist Lee Zii Jia’s first appearance in a main draw since the Thailand Masters in January. The Malaysian, who is continuing his comeback from injury, faces Prahdiska Bagas Shujiwo after his original opponent Moh. Zaki Ubaidillah withdrew.
