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 World Championships quarter-finals after defeating Taiwan's Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin 21-17, 21-17 in a match that lasted 42 minutes. This marks their second victory against the Taiwanese pair in three encounters. The sixth-ranked Malaysian duo will face either South Korea's defending champions Kim Won Ho-Seo-Seung Jae or England's Ben Lane-Sean Vendy in the next round.
The Malaysians aim for a third title this year, having won the Indonesia Masters and Indonesia Open earlier this year. Meanwhile, Malaysia's sole mixed doubles team, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai, was eliminated from the tournament after losing to China's Cheng Xing-Zhang Zhang Chi 21-15, 21-12 in just 34 minutes. This is the third consecutive time the Malaysian pair were ousted in the last-16 stage of the World Championships.
