PASIR GUDANG: Doubles shuttlers Ow Yao Han-Tan Boon Heong were far from happy with their performance after scraping through the opening round of the Malaysia Open Grand Prix Gold at the Pasir Gudang Municipal Stadium.

“It was not the dream start that we wanted,” admitted both Boon Heong and Yao Han after beating Christopher Risdianto-Trikusuma Wardhana of Indonesia 19-21, 21-15, 21-8 in their first international debut on Wednesday.
