Reason to smile: Shevon Lai Jemie (right) and Goh Soon Huat got off to a winning start at the Swiss Open
PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie chalked up their maiden win as independents in the Swiss Open and in the process did their Tokyo Olympics qualification bid a world of good.
The world No. 10 downed Eloi Adam-Margot Lambert of France 21-18,21-14 but it was the defeat of Indonesia’s Hafiz Faizal-Gloria Widjaja in Basel on Tuesday that gave them a tremendous boost for a ticket to the Olympics.
