KUALA LUMPUR: The sibling rivalry between two Taiwanese will be put to test when top seeds Timea Babos-Chan Hao-ching take on Chan Yung-jan-Zheng Saisai in the women’s doubles final of the BMW Malaysian Open at the Royal Selangor Golf Club on Sunday.

Taiwan’s Yung-jan and her partner from China, Saisai, checked into the final on Saturday with a 4-6, 6-4, 10-4 win over Ukrainians Lyudmyla Kichenok-Olga Savchuk on a day when rain again played havoc with the fixtures, causing a delay of more than three hours.
