Badminton THA : Malaysian Doubles Open

THA = Team Hawk Academy.


This was the first doubles tournament of the year and the likes of Calvin Yong, Kelvin Kwong, Fong Kheng Wai, and Chan Choon Liong were all withdrawn at the last minute.

Hometown hero, Loh was left with no choice but to partner the rookie, Ku.

In this epic battle saw, Nazim and Remon getting the upperhand of the tournament. It looked like this tournament was theirs for the taking when they terrorised Hafiz and Mogan in the semis 21-14, 21-17.



In the finals against new pair Loh and Ku, it was looking good for Nazim and Remon, as they won the first set but a milestone lead. But Loh, be named the silent killer for a reason, showed what he was capable of when he took charge of the 2nd set with new partner Ku. It was a tight race in the at the end of the third set but it finally came to a close when Loh smashed a return shot from Naz to finish off in style.

Scores were, 21-14, 19-21, 19-21.



The runners up, Remon and Nazim.



The Winners, Loh and Ku.
