PETALING JAYA:

Men’s singles shuttler Justin Hoh’s hopes of winning his first World Tour title ended today when he lost in the Macau Open final.

The world No 45 went down 21-15, 21-5 to Indonesia’s world No 25 Alwi Farhan in 54 minutes at the Macau East Asian Games Dome.

The match saw multiple stoppages because of the leaking roof, with the court having to be mopped several times.

Justin, 21, earned US$14,060 (RM60,188) as the runner-up, while Alwi took home US$27,750 (RM118,792) as the champion.
