GEORGE TOWN: Malaysia’s Uber Cup shuttlers did not have a glorious day at the Malaysian Masters, but coach Lim Pek Siah still found a reason to smile.
She was pleased with the promising performance by Chow Mei Kuan-Lee Meng Yean despite their first-round exit at the Spice Arena in Relau, Penang, on Wednesday.
The duo, playing in their first tournament together after two years, nearly gave 2010 Commonwealth Games champions Jwala Gutta-Ashwini Ponnappa of India a rude shock before going down 14-21, 21-14, 23-25 in 54 minutes.
