PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttler Shevon Lai Jemie gave a thumbs up to her husband and partner Goh Soon Huat for his never-say-die attitude on court.

Soon Huat hurt his ribs when he dived to save a shuttle in the third game but refused to throw in the towel and kept going with Shevon to come away with a hard fought 17-21, 21-15, 21-14 win over Indonesia’s world No. 13 Dejan Ferdinansyah-Gloria Emanuelle in their last Group B match in the World Tour Finals in Hangzhou yesterday.
