The landmark victory was one to be savoured, as the Great Wall of Chinese dominance was finally breached. Despite the heartbreak of losing the first set that went into deuce, the Malaysian mixed doubles pair displayed great tenacity and mental strength to overcome their more illustrious opponents in three sets before a partisan home crowd. The mental strength and staying power were simply not there. It is good to see that Chen and Toh have added this vital weapon of mental strength to their armoury during their clashes against their opponents. Malaysia can rest assured that the mixed doubles discipline is well taken care of for a while.
