PETALING JAYA: Rejuvenated Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong may have faltered in the men’s doubles final of the Yonex Thailand Open but they are still wearing a big smile.

The duo missed out on a major victory by a whisker when they lost 16-21,23-21,19-21 to Taiwan’s Lee Yang-Wang Chi-lin in a pulsating 65-minute match at the Impact Arena yesterday but they have regarded the runners-up finish as a “breakthrough”.It’s their first major final appearance since winning the 2016 Superseries Finals in Dubai.
