PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying are not giving up hope although the path to reach the quarter-finals looks dim.

The independent shuttlers blew a good chance to have an early advantage after going down fighting 18-21, 21-10, 16-21 to world No. 13 Tan Chun Man-Tse Ying Suet in their first Group D match at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza yesterday.
