In 2024, the pair has picked up where they left off last year. In the Malaysia Open and India Open, they made it all the way to the final but lost on both occasions. This run changed last night, though, as they defeated Taiwanese pair Lee Jhe-huei & Yang Po-hsuan 21-11, 21-17 to lift the French Open title.

This is the pair's second French Open title. They made it to the final of the event in 2019, but lost to Indonesia's Marcus Fernaldi Gideon & Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo before winning their second summit clash in 2022.
