PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles top seeds Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei were not forthright in predicting their title hopes at the Malaysian Masters from May 21-26 but have declared that they are in their best shape for the home tournament.

Thailand’s world No. 6 Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai were initially slated as the favourites but their withdrawal has elevated Tang Jie-Ee Wei to the top spot at the Malaysian Masters.
