The world No 18 Malaysians, fresh from winning the German Open two weeks ago, found the Indonesians a tough nut to crack as they went down in 40 minutes at St Jakobshalle.

In the first game, Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin gave an energetic performance and both pairs fought point-for-point to be tied at 14-14 before the vastly-experienced Indonesians pulled away for a 21-18 win.

Although the Malaysians got off to a slow start in the second game to trail 8-3, they managed to get their act together to draw level at 10-10.

However, the Indonesian pair again relied on their experience to eke out a 21-19 win and seal the title.

Meanwhile, mixed doubles professional shuttlers Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Jemie Lai also suffered a similar fate in the final, going down 21-12, 18-21, 17-21 to Germans Mark Lamsfuss-Isabel Lohau in a 65-minute thriller.
