PETALING JAYA: National shuttlers Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani gave their all in the men’s doubles final but it was not good enough to overcome Danish pair Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen at the World Tour Finals today.
The Malaysians were hoping to exact revenge after having lost to them in the opening group tie last week but they went down 17-21, 21-17, 11-21 in a match that lasted 65 minutes at the Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Hangzhou, China.
Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin, who created history by being the first Malaysian men’s doubles pair to enter the Tour final since its inception in 2018, will take home the runners-up prize money of US$100,000 (RM445,000).
