PETALING JAYA: Newly formed independent pair Tan Kian Meng and Tan Wee Kiong agonisingly missed out on what would have been a perfect debut after coming in as runners-up at the Dutch Open.

Kian Meng-Wee Kiong squandered a 19-16 lead and match point at 20-19 in the rubber game to go down 14-21, 21-18, 20-22 to Singapore’s Terry Hee-Loh Kean Hean in the final in Almere on Sunday.
