World No.34 duo Hoo Pang Ron and Cheah Yee See were expected to have trouble against No.15 pair Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue, who yesterday had taken out second seeds Praveen Jordan and Melati Daeva Oktavianti. However, it was the French who finished at the receiving end, unable to come to terms with the clever play of the Malaysians as they fell 21-14 21-16.
“This win is quite big, it will improve our confidence. We hope we can keep going.”
A deflated Delrue admitted they couldn’t quite adjust to the Malaysians’ style.
