This is the second time since the 2015 edition that there will be no Malaysians in the finals of the Malaysia Open.“Although we lost today, we saw what the difference was between us and them...they are the top of the world ranking. We need to strive harder to catch up with them. I hope we will give improved performances in every tournament that we compete in from now on,” she said.
Kian Meng, who thanked the fans for their vociferous support, said the pair did not feel any pressure despite being the only Malaysian representatives in the semi-finals. The mixed doubles final will be an all-China affair between Yilyu-Dongping and Du Yue-Li Yinhui, who had earlier defeated Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai 21-14, 21-9.
