Sze Fei-Izzuddin lose to world champs in Asian Games quarters
Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang won 21-13, 21-17 to foil the Malaysian pair’s hopes of winning at least a bronze medal.
Malaysian badminton duo Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani failed to reach the semi-finals of the Asian Games after being defeated by China's world champions Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang. The Chinese pair won the match 21-13, 21-17 in just 27 minutes, eliminating the Malaysian players from contention. Sze Fei-Izzuddin had previously lost to the same Chinese team in five encounters, marking their fourth consecutive loss.
The Malaysian duo's performance in this match was far from their best, as they made numerous unforced errors throughout the game. As a result, Malaysia's hopes for securing at least one bronze medal in badminton at the Asian Games appear to have vanished. However, the women's doubles team of Pearly Tan-M Thinaah is guaranteed a spot in the semi-finals, ensuring they will take home a bronze medal.
Malaysia last won a men's doubles bronze at the Asian Games in 2022, led by Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.
