PETALING JAYA: World No. 1 men’s doubles pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin had to dig deep to secure their place in the Japan Open quarter-finals after a stern test from Japan’s Hiroki Midorikawa-Kyohei Yamashita.
In the second-round match at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, defending champions Sze Fei-Izzuddin played with aggression but found themselves under pressure from the world No. 28 pair, who refused to go down without a fight and even took the lead late in the second game.
