PETALING JAYA: The task has not got any easier for independent mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie at the ongoing Indonesian Masters despite the withdrawal of several top pairs.
China’s world No. 1 Zheng Siwei-Huang Yaqiong, Japan’s Yuta Watanabe-Arisa Higashino and Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai have all opted to give the tournament in Jakarta a miss.
“For us, I think the draw hasn’t changed much. We still have several strong pairs awaiting us. So, I don’t think there will be much difference for us in the first few rounds for now,” said Shevon.Before that, the Malaysians have a tricky opening round match against Denmark’s world No. 14 Mathias Christiansen-Alexandra Boje in their first meeting in the international stage.
On their first round match against Chritiansen-Boje, Shevon said: “It will be an exciting match for us because this is our first meeting in international tournaments.“This stadium is famous for its strong drift and the thundering cheers from the crowd there.
