PETALING JAYA: The doubles
pairs were the biggest letdown as Malaysia crashed 3-1 to Japan in the
quarter-finals of the Asian Junior badminton championships at the Likas Indoor
Stadium in Kota Kinabalu.
In the mixed doubles, Chua Khek Wei-Yap Cheng Wen blew a 20-18 first-game lead to lose 20-22, 17-21 to Japan’s Hashiru Shimono-Wakana Nagahara although top junior ace Soong Joo Ven brought Malaysia back to level terms by beating Takuto Inoue 21-16, 21-15.
“It’s quite disappointing to lose to Japan, especially since they were beaten 5-0 by Thailand yesterday,” said National Junior Doubles coach, Cheh Chang.
