Malaysia spoil hosts' party at China Open
The Straits Times|September 23, 2024
Malaysia's Nur Izzuddin Rumsani and Goh Sze Fei denied the hosts a clean sweep of all five titles at badminton's China Open on Sept 22 as they won the men's doubles crown in Changzhou.

The seventh seeds fought back to defeat fifth-seeded home pairing He Jiting and Ren Xiangyu 13-21, 21-12, 21-17 in a topsy-turvy final lasting just under an hour.

Ren injured his lower back at the close of the first game. He required a medical timeout during the first game and interval and the injury clearly affected the Chinese, particularly in the second game.

For the Malaysians, the Super 1000 tournament win was the biggest of their careers and the second of their season, after they also triumphed at the Super 750 Japan Open in August.
