Facing Thai rivals again draws discontent in Soon Huat-Shevon


Coincidence or what?: Soon Huat-Shevon will likely have to take on Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran for the third time in a row.

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.

World No. 3 Soon Huat-Shevon had to play against rising pair Dechapol-Supissara in the back-to-back All-England and Swiss Open earlier this month and also in the Malaysian Open in January.
