KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's men's doubles pair Sze Fei-Izzuddin Rumsani secured a perfect day for Malaysian men's doubles at the World Championships by defeating Scotland's Christopher Grimley-Matthew Grimley 21-11, 15-21, 21-16 in the second round. The world No. 6 pair had struggled in the opening game, trailing 15-21, but regained their composure in the final game to avert an upset and maintain their perfect record against the Grimley brothers at 2-0.
