KUALA LUMPUR, May 9 — The Malaysian men’s badminton squad kicked off their 2022 Thomas Cup Finals’ campaign in stunning fashion as they cruised to a 5-0 victory against England in the opening fixture of Group D at the Impact Arena, here, today.
However, it was not a plain sailing for Malaysia’s number one pair as they had to bounce back from first set defeat, 19-21, before they going on to prevail against the ‘stubborn’ English pair in the next two sets, winning in 21-15, 21-16. Aaron, who is also the team captain, however, was unsatisfied with their performance especially when they went down in the first set but was glad they regained their confidence in the next two sets.
