PETALING JAYA: Men's doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun saw their Japan Masters campaign come to an end after losing to Denmark's Daniel Lundgaard-Mads Vestergaard in the second round on Thursday (Nov 12).

The eighth seeds struggled to match their Danish opponents at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium, going down 15-21, 18-21 in just 34 minutes.

Their defeat leaves Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King as Malaysia's sole remaining representatives at the Japan Masters after the pair secured their place in the quarter-finals after knocking out Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani earlier.
