Malaysia's men's doubles pair Man Wei Chong and Tee Kai Wun lost in the semi-finals of the Korea Open in Yeosu on Saturday (November 7) to South Korean world number one pair Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae, Malay Mail reported.
A tough run against the Koreans
The headline describes it as the seventh straight loss for the Malaysian pair against their South Korean rivals, which shows how difficult it has been for them to beat the top-ranked duo. The excerpts reviewed do not give the match score or details of how the game unfolded, so readers should check the full report or tournament results for those facts.
Route to the semi-finals
On Friday, the Malaysians had advanced to the semi-finals after defeating Japan's Haruki Kawabe and Kenta Matsukawa, and Malay Mail had described them as one win away from the final. Reaching the last four at a Super-level event is a solid result, even though they could not go further.
What next
The pair will now look to bounce back in upcoming tournaments, where they may meet the Korean duo again. Malaysian fans can follow the Badminton Association of Malaysia for the schedule of their next events and for any changes to the line-up.
