The Malaysians needed 44 minutes to subdue the sixth-seeded Taiwanese pair and set up a second-round date with either Lee Fang Chih-Lee Fang Jen, also of Taiwan, or Indonesians Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Muhammad Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.

The Malaysians will next take on Dejan Ferdinansyah-Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja after the Indonesians advanced to the second round when their opponents, Lee Chun Hei Reginald-Ng Tsz Yau of Hong Kong retired in the second game after losing the first.
