In men’s doubles, Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi reminisced about their past success at the Perodua Malaysia Masters as they secured a hard-fought victory over Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. The Malaysians, who reached the runners-up position in last year’s tournament, prevailed despite a tough challenge from the Thailand Open champions, with a final scoreline of 21-15 18-21 21-15.
Rankireddy and Shetty appeared to regain momentum in the second game, with Rankireddy’s powerful shots going unanswered. However, Ong and Teo adjusted their strategy, reducing the number of lifts and adopting a more agile approach. This change disrupted their opponents’ rhythm, and they succumbed to a series of errors. The Malaysians celebrated this victory, which brought them much-needed morale, especially as they are competing as independent players.
“The unwavering support from our fans made us really happy. They stood by us throughout the match, and we felt no pressure,” expressed Teo gratefully.
