After winning the Hellas International Open in Greece last week and the Latvia International last month, mixed pair Yap Roy King-Valeree Siow chalked up another victory after trouncing Germany’s Johannes Pistorious-Emma Moszczynski in the final.
The young pair stunned the seventh seeds 21-19, 21-12 in just 29 minutes.
Another young pair, Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-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 games in a match that lasted almost an hour.
Wan Arif-Haikal started the match promisingly after taking the first game 21-15 before the Indian pair made a comeback by winning 21-19 in the second game.
The national pair then regained their composure to win the tournament in Ukraine in the deciding game 21-15.
This is their latest triumph after they emerged champions at Hellas International and the Austrian Open in May.
