Marwan/Aisyah, who are currently ranked 22nd in the world, are indeed ready to taste a tournament with a higher level after their achievements in 2025 were quite good.
They have won the Super 100 four times (Indonesia, Vietnam, Guwahati, and Odisha) and have reached the semifinals at the Syed Modi Super 300.
Marwan said that mental factors were their main focus in preparation for the first big stage.
"Actually, the results are only good in the last half year, yes, because at the beginning of 2025 we were tried at the 300 level, at the 500 level, but the results were not good. It also reduced confidence," said Marwan.
The Malaysia Open 2026 will be held on January 6-11 at the Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The tournament offers a total prize of one million and 450 thousand US dollars or equivalent to Rp. 24.2 billion.
