mixed doubles pair Yap Roy King-Valeree Siow chalked up another victory after trouncing Germany’s pair, Johannes Pistorious-Emma Moszczynski, in the final.

The young pair stunned the seventh seeds of the tournament 21-19, 21-12 in just 29 minutes.

Another young pair, Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Muhammad Haikal Nazri, also stole the limelight after they bagged the men’s doubles title in the same tournament when they got past Ishaan Batnagar-K Sai Pratheek of India.

However, the duo had to endure a rough journey in the final as they were forced to play three sets in a match that lasted almost one hour.

Wan Arif-Muhammad Haikal started the match promisingly after taking the first set 21-15 before the Indian pair made a comeback by winning 21-19 in the second set.

The national pair then regained their composure to win the tournament in Ukraine in the deciding set 21-15.

This is their latest triumph after they emerged as champions in Hellas International 2021 and the Austrian Open 2021 in May.
