Ong Xi Yee-Carmen Ting fall in the final
Home favourites clinched three titles at the Kaohsiung Masters badminton championships as the Malaysian women’s doubles top seeds failed in their title quest.
Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting’s march came to an end in the women’s doubles finals at the hands of the Indonesian duo of Isyana Syahira Meida-Rinjani Kwinnara Nastine. Xin Yee-Carmen were beaten 15-21, 15-21 in the final, but it was not all gloomy for the Malaysian camp.
Earlier mixed doubles fourth seeds Wee Yee Hern-Vannee Gobi secured the crown for Malaysia, overcoming a tight first game before defeating Koreans Ki Dong-ju-Jeong Na-eun 24-22, 21-17.
Chinese Taipei claimed both the single as well as the men’s doubles titles.
In the women’s singles Liao Yuan Chi denied the Indonesians of a title when they gunned down Mutiara Ayu Puspitasari 21-15, 21-13.
Kuo Kuan Lin overcame Korea’s Kim Hae-deun 21-13, 21-19 for the men’s singles title.
In an all-Taiwanese men’s doubles affair Chang Ko-Chi-Lu Chen defeated teammates Cheng Kai Wen-Liao Chao Pang 21-18, 18-21, 21-16 to lift the crown.
