Despite a fairly modest start to the season, Mark Lamsfuss and Marvin Seidel head into the YONEX All England Open confident of turning their fortunes around.
The German men’s doubles pair had some promising performances early this season, but they weren’t quite able to capitalise on them. Among their best shows was at the Indonesia Masters, where they stretched top seeds Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo in three tight games.
That performance was followed by a quarterfinal finish at the Barcelona Spain Masters, where they lost in three games to Chinese Taipei’s Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han. This week though, at the German Open, Lamsfuss and Seidel were in for a disappointment at home as they crashed in the second round to Malaysia’s Ong Yew Sin/Teo Ee Yi.
