KUALA LUMPUR, March 14 — Malaysia’s interest in the men’s doubles category at the All England 2025 came to an end after their last hope, Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani, bowed out in the second round in Birmingham last night.
The professional duo and second seeds fell to unseeded South Korean pair Kim Won Ho-Seo Seung Jae 16-21, 13-21 at the Utilita Arena Birmingham.
The world number two now find themselves in the same unfortunate company of five other Malaysian pairs, including former world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, who were sent packing in the first round.
But all is not lost for Malaysia as national number one women’s doubles pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah and professional mixed doubles duo Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie remain in the hunt at the world’s oldest badminton tournament.
