PETALING JAYA: Boys’ doubles Aaron Tai-Kang Khai Xing were unable to complete an European double after losing to China pair Chen Yongrui-Chen Zhehan in the final of the German Junior Open in Berlin on Sunday.

Aaron-Khai Xing, who won the Dutch Junior Open in Haarlem last week, were beaten 20-22, 16-21 by Yongrui-Zhehan but the two tournaments have given a clear indication on their challengers in the upcoming Asian Junior Championships in Bali in July.
