PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Justin Hoh is not too disheartened despite missing out on a second singles title.

On Sunday, the 17-year-old lost 14-21,16-21 in the boys’ semi-finals to eventual champion Yohannes Marcellyno of Indonesia in the Finnish Junior in Espoo but made up for the disappointment by clinching the doubles title with Ong Zhen Yi.
