An expected stroll turns into rough ride for Wei Chong-Kai Wun


PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun (pic) almost messed it up by taking their feet off the pedal before overcoming Taiwan pair Lee Fang-chih-Lee Fang-jen to reach the second round of the Swiss Open in Basel on Tuesday.

It should have been a stroll for the world No. 18th ranked pair but they decided make things difficult for themselves by losing concentration in the third game before securing a 20-22, 21-11, 21-19 win in 63 minutes.
