KUALA LUMPUR, March 28 (Bernama) — Up-and-coming national men’s doubles pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Mohd Rumsani’s hopes of winning a second title this season were dashed when they lost 18-21, 19-21 to Indonesia’s\u00a0Fajar Alfian-Muhammad Rian Ardianto in the final of the Swiss Open in Basel tonight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world number 18 Malaysian pair, fresh from winning the German Open title two weeks ago, found the Indonesians a tough nut to crack as they went down in 40 minutes at St Jakobshalle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the first game, Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin gave an energetic performance and both pairs fought point-for-point to be tied at 14-14 before the vastly-experienced Indonesians pulled away for a 21-18 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Malaysians got off to a slow start in the second game to trail 3-8, they managed to get their act together to draw level at 10-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the Indonesian pair again relied on their experience to eke out a 21-19 win and seal the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
National mixed doubles professional shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai also suffered a similar fate in the final, going down 21-12, 18-21, 17-21 to Germans Mark Lamsfuss-Isabel Lohau in a 65-minute thriller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
