PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles pair Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong can surely learn a thing or two from their juniors when it comes to keeping their nerves in check during crucial moments.

While V Shem-Wee Kiong keep losing under pressure, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik (pic) held on to five match points in the second game yesterday before chalking up a sensational 24-22, 26-24 first-round win over Thailand’s Maneepong Jongjit-Bodin Isara at the Korean Open in Seoul.
