IT was joy for the national women’s doubles pairs but despair for the men in the SEA Games in Cambodia.
Twin sisters Cheng Su Hui-Cheng Su Yin were the first to book their spots in the semi-finals after beating Singapore’s Heng En Xiao-Elsa Lai 21-12, 21-11 at the Morodok Techo badminton hall in Phnom Penh.
“I’m happy to reach two semi-finals but I’m not satisfied yet as I want to go further,” said Su Yin. “I’m a bit tired after playing in two events for two days but I will give my all to reach both finals.” In the mixed doubles, Su Yin and Roy King will next take on Thailand’s Pakkapon Teeraratsakul-Phataimas Muenwong.
Yeen Yuan-Xin Jie have a tough task next though against top seeds Febriana Dwipuji-Amalia Cahaya of Indonesia.
