PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie are unhappy with their draw in the Asian Championships from April 8-13 in Ningbo, China, as they will likely have to take on Thailand’s Dechapol Puava-ranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran for the third time in a row in the second round.
