Tough Challenges for Men’s Doubles Pairs
Li/Liu and Ahsan/Saputro engaged in an intense battle. Despite the slow shuttles making it difficult for attackers to score easy points, Ahsan and Saputro demonstrated their defensive skills and caught their opponents off-guard with sudden flicks and drives. The Indonesians celebrated their victory after missing two match points, securing a memorable 19-21 21-18 21-18 win.
Reflecting on the match, Ahsan said, “We were confident of beating them and had nothing to lose. We tried to enjoy our time on court as the pressure was on them.” Despite defending his title, Ahsan remained humble and focused on giving his best performance with his new partner.
Goh/Tan’s disappointing season continued as they struggled against a Korean pair, Chung/Kim, who had previously made only one semi-final appearance. The Malaysians failed to take the lead at any point during the match, resulting in a comfortable victory for the Korean duo.
