PLAYING in the mixed doubles with Goh Liu Ying has been a blessing in disguise for Soong Joo Ven.

Joo Ven-Liu Ying reached the last 16 of the Indonesian Open last week and will start their Malaysian Open campaign against Jones Ralfy Jansen-Linda Efler of Germany today. Due to his low ranking, Joo Ven is unable to play in the men’s singles event of top-tier tournaments.
