The Japanese team, praised for their tactical precision and consistency, won with scores of 21-17 and 21-19 after 41 minutes, capitalizing on the Malaysian pair’s critical errors.
In the mixed doubles category, Goh Soon Huat and Shevon Lai Jemie began strongly against China’s Jiang Zhen Bang and Huang Dong Ping, winning the first game 21-18. However, the Chinese duo responded with strategic net play and strong attacks, claiming victory with game scores of 21-8 and 21-10 in a total of 44 minutes, ending Malaysia’s hopes.
