PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei clinched the Indonesian Masters after a gritty comeback win over Denmark's Mathias Christiansen-Alexandra Boje. 

The reigning world champions got off to a slow start and lost the first game 15-21 but showed great fighting spirit to storm back to win the next two games 21-17, 21-11 at Istora Senayan in Jakarta on Sunday (Jan 25). 

It was world No. 4 Tang Jie-Ee Wei's first title of the year.

The pair exacted sweet revenge over world No. 10 Christiansen-Boje after losing to them in the Macau Open semi-finals last year.
