PETALING JAYA: Hoon Thien How and Tan Wee Kiong failed to complete a fairy-tale ending at the China Open in Shanghai on Sunday.

The world No. 11’s hopes of landing their first Super Series title ended in despair as they went down 13-21, 12-21 to South Korea’s Lee Yong-dae-Yoo Yeon-seong in just 33 minutes in the men’s doubles final.
