KUALA LUMPUR: Hoon Thien How-Tan Wee Kiong will be banking on the misfortunes of others to sneak into the men’s doubles event at the BWF’s World Super Series Finals at the Kuala Lumpur Badminton Stadium from Dec 11-15.
Only the top eight pairs qualify for the Finals and Thien How-Wee Kiong are now ranked eighth in the standings. The duo have no chance of improving their standings as the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have not entered them for this week’s Hong Kong Open, which is the final leg of the 12-stop Tour.
