Not in a spot of bother


Up for the challenge: Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie have to bring out their A-game against home favourites Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai (below) in the second round today.

PETALING JAYA: Playing in a world-class tournament behind closed doors is a surreal experience for many shuttlers and Shevon Lai Jemie is no exception.

However, the 27-year-old mixed doubles player is not bothered by the sometimes eerie atmosphere in the ongoing Yonex Thailand Open at the Impact Arena in Bangkok.
