PETALING JAYA: World No. 2 men’s doubles player Aaron Chia hopes that the Malaysian Open’s schedule can be revised in the future so that it is no longer held as the opening tournament of the calendar.

Aaron said it can be exhausting for players, as just two weeks ago he and his partner, Soh Wooi Yik along with other top shuttlers, competed in the World Tour Finals in Hangzhou, which capped the 2025 season.
