PETALING JAYA: National men’s doubles shuttlers Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat–Shevon Jemie Lai advanced to the second round of the All England championships with comfortable victories today.
Wei Chong-Kai Wun, ranked world No 6, defeated Taiwanese twins Lee Fang Chih-Fang Jen, ranked 16 rungs below them, 21-17, 21-16 in 40 minutes at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.
In the round of 16 tomorrow, Wei Chong–Kai Wun will face another Taiwanese pair, Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin.
Husband-and-wife pair Soon Huat-Shevon overcame England&#8217;s Callum Hemming and Estelle Van Leeuwen in straight games.
Soon Huat-Shevon, ranked world No 11, won 21-14, 21-12 in 39 minutes against Hemming-Van Leeuwen, who are ranked 28 places below them.
However, they face a tough fight in the next round, where they will meet China’s world No 2 pair, Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin. The Malaysians have only recorded one win in 10 encounters against the Chinese duo.
In another mixed doubles match, Malaysia’s world No 37 pair, Lim Chiew Sien-Wong Tien Ci, gave sixth-ranked Chinese rivals Guo Xin Wa-Chen Fang Hui a scare before losing in three games.
Chiew Sien-Tien Ci won the first game 21-17 but dropped the next two 12-21, 9-21 in a match lasting 56 minutes.
Men’s doubles pair Nur Azriyn Ayub-Tan Wee Kiong lost to Taiwan’s Chiu Hsiang Chieh–Chi Lin 18-21, 14-21 in their opening match.
