The 2016 Rio Olympics silver medallists, who won the Thailand Masters in January, saved four match points in the deciding set to secure a 21-19, 15-21, 23-21 victory in a thrilling 62-minute final at the Taipei Arena in Taiwan, according to the Badminton World Federation website.
The fourth seeded Goh-Tan’s victory ended Malaysia’s seven-year title drought in men’s doubles at the Taiwan Open, which was last won by Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari.
