Malaysia’s Badminton Success at the VICTOR China Open 2019

It was an incredible day for Malaysia’s men’s and mixed doubles teams at the VICTOR China Open 2019. Both teams, playing simultaneously against Danish opponents, emerged victorious after intense matches that went down to the wire.

Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi, in a nail-biting encounter, saved match points at 20-21 to defeat reigning China Open champions Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, winning 21-18, 14-21, 25-23. Minutes later, Goh V Shem and Tan Wee Kiong triumphed over familiar rivals Mathias Boe and Mads Conrad-Petersen with a 21-13, 22-24, 27-25 victory.

The veterans, Goh and Tan, expressed their happiness at the win, acknowledging the support from the enthusiastic crowd. They admitted that the match was a tough one, but they managed to come out on top by staying focused and not giving up. Unfortunately, Teo suffered a left leg injury during the match and will undergo a doctor’s inspection for further assessment.

In the mixed doubles category, Goh Soon Huat and Lai Shevon Jemie also put up a strong fight and emerged victorious. They defeated the No.8 seeds Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith with a hard-fought 18-21, 21-17, 22-20 win. Goh highlighted the tough competition between the two pairs and credited their previous win against Ellis and Smith at the All England for boosting their confidence. They are now preparing to face the in-form Thai pair Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai in their next match.
