Men's doubles duo Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan struggled to find their usual quality in going down to Japanese pair Takuro Hoki and Yugo Kobayashi 11-21 21-15 21-12.
Post-match Ahsan said: “The quality of our game has dipped because we have been competing without a break for a long time. It’s the same for many players.”
When questioned on how the pair are feeling physically after a gruelling tournament run in Europe, Setiawan said: “We want to rejuvenate ourselves and work on improving our energy for next week’s tournament.
