DONGGUAN: Ten years after making their debut in the Sudirman Cup in Beijing, China’s four-time men’s doubles world champion Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng have made a rare appearance in their own backyard.

And it took some effort for the veteran pair to roll back the years as they saw off Thailand’s Bodin Issara-Pakkawat Vilailak 14-21, 21-14, 21-19 to set China along the way in their final Group A match.
