PETALING JAYA: Shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie may merit a place in the Sudirman Cup from May 14-21 in Suzhou, China, based on their performance in the just concluded Swiss Open.
The independent mixed doubles pair went down fighting 17-21, 21-19, 17-21 to China’s fast-rising Jiang Zhenbang-Wei Yaxin in a one-hour pulsating final in Basel yesterday.
Then, the pair had been denied by Germany’s Mark Lamsfuss-Isabel Lohau, also losing in three games – 21-12, 18-21, 17-21. Soon Huat-Shevon though, did well to fight back from 8-14 down in the second game to force the decider. The pair were overlooked for the Asian Mixed Team Championships last month which served as the qualifiers for the Sudirman Cup but have performed better this year than fellow independent pair Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing, who were selected along with promising duo Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei.
