Arif-Roy King crowned Macau Open champions
KUALA LUMPUR: Men's doubles Arif Junaidi-Yap Roy King got their revenge on Indonesia's Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani to win their first Super 300 title at the Macau Open on Sunday. The world No. 24 Malaysian men's doubles pair defeated the world No. 8 Indonesians 22-20, 21-18 in 79 minutes at the East Asian Games Dome. The victory snaps a three-match losing streak for Arif-Roy King against Sabar-Moh Reza Like the two finals before, this match was also disrupted by regular mop-downs due to water dropping onto the court from the roof. The two pairs had met previously in the final of the Spain Masters last year, where the Indonesians won in three games.

World No 1 Sze Fei-Izzuddin crash out after late collapse in Jakarta
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani needed just two points to book their place in the Indonesia Open semi-finals but crumbled at the death on Saturday. Indonesia's world No. 8 Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani were trailing 19-17 in the deciding game, but mounted a strong comeback to stun the top-ranked Malaysians 21-19, 9-21, 21-19 in Jakarta. Victory would have set up an all-Malaysian semi-final against world No. 7 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, who had earlier ousted India's world No. 22 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-19, 21-16. Wei Chong-Kai Wun will now face Sabar-Moh Reza on Saturday, hoping to repeat their feat of reaching last year's final.
