PETALING JAYA: Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari showed that they still have much to offer at the highest level after beat­ing Indonesia’s Angga Pratama-Ryan Agung Sa­­putra 21-12, 21-14 to win the men’s doubles title in the Taiwan Open GP Gold in Taipei yesterday.

Many had written the pair off since they left the Badminton Association of Malaysia’s (BAM) fold last year to join KLRC. In only their second final appearance since the Thailand Open in June, Zakry-Fairuzizuan were brilliant from the start against their top seeded opponents and needed just 27 minutes to seal victory.
