KUALA LUMPUR: Indonesia endured a rare disappointment in the Malaysian Open when none of their men's doubles pairs cleared the early rounds.

A day after world No. 4 and 2022 champions Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto fell to Malaysians Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi, Indonesia’s challenge in the event was wiped out after world No. 11 Sabar Gutama-Moh Reza went down to England’s Ben Lane-Sean Vendy at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil.
