PETALING JAYA: Malaysian veteran mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying had to be contented with a semi-final outing once more in the World Tour Finals.

The world No. 9 found the in-form world No. 2 Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand too hot too handle as they went down 8-21, 18-21 in Bali yesterday, dashing their hopes of going a step further than their previous best achievement in 2013.
