PETALING JAYA:
National mixed doubles shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai booked a quarter-final berth at the Korea Open today after defeating China‘s Gao Jia Xuan-Wu Meng Ying in straight games.
The married couple, who are ranked world No 8, were in total control of the match, winning 21-16, 21-13 against the 25th ranked pair in just 31 minutes at the Suwon Gymnasium.
In the quarter-finals, they are likely to meet world No 1 pair Jiang Zhenbang-Wei Yaxin, who are expected to get past the new Japanese combination of Yuta Watanabe- Maya Taguchi.
Soon Huat-Shevon have been having a disappointing run this season as they have yet to enter a final, with several early exits.
