KUALA LUMPUR: National men’s doubles pair Choong Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal Nazri’s four-month partnership is now bearing fruit as they emerged as champions of the 2023 Guwahati Masters Championship in India yesterday.
It is their second consecutive title within a week after winning the Syed Modi International Championship in India on Sunday.
Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal took only 39 minutes to dispatch their Taiwanese opponents Lin Bing Wei-Su Ching Heng 21-17, 23-21 in the final match at Sarju Sarai Indoor Sports Complex.
The Malaysians had earlier beat fellow compatriots Boon Xin Yuan-Goh V Shem 21-18, 21-17 in the semifinals.
Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal have played in three finals this season, including the Indonesian Masters last October. — BERNAMA
