PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles shuttlers Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani smashed all sorts of records when they lifted the China Open title but they were in no mood to celebrate.
They had ended a 35-year wait for a men’s doubles title on China’s soil, which was last won by the legendary Sidek brothers Jalani-Razif in 1989, when they captured their biggest career title in Changzhou yesterday.
