Sze Fei-Izzuddin through to World Championships quarter-finals
The Malaysians defeat Taiwanese pair Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin in straight games in the third round.
Malaysian men’s doubles shuttlers Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani advanced to the quarter-finals of the World Championships after defeating Taiwanese pair Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin in a third-round match. The Malaysian duo, who previously reached the last-16 in two World Championships, emerged victorious in a 42-minute match at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in India.
The pair, currently ranked sixth, will face either South Korea’s world No 1 Kim Won Ho-Seo-Seung Jae or England’s Ben Lane-Sean Vendy in the next round. The Malaysians are aiming for their third title of the year, following victories at the Indonesia Masters and Indonesia Open. Meanwhile, Malaysia’s only mixed doubles pair, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai, was eliminated from the competition after losing to a Chinese duo in three sets.
This marks the third straight time the Malaysian mixed doubles pair has been knocked out in the last-16 stage of the World Championships.
