PETALING JAYA: Chan Peng Soon-Cheah Yee See got off to the perfect start in the Orleans Masters after sweeping aside China’s Cheng Xing-Chen Fang Hui 21-14, 21-16 in the first round in Orleans, France, yesterday.
The mixed doubles pair, who had left the Badminton Association of Malaysia last November to turn independent, are seeking to turn their form around after an indifferent start.
They have an opportunity to reach their first quarter-finals when they play either Taiwan’s Chang Ko-chi-Lee Chih-chen or Denmark’s Jasper Toft-Clara Graversen in the second round today.Meanwhile, it was relief for men’s singles player Leong Jun Hao who has also been struggling to hit top form this year after he managed to clear the qualifying rounds to reach the tournament proper.
The 23-year-old then returned to court about about two hours later to beat Hsiao’s compatriot Fabian Roth 21-17, 9-21, 21-13 in another gruelling match.
