In 2018, the Malaysians stunned mixed doubles top seeds and reigning world champions Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir in straight games to lift the Singapore Open winners shield – their last together.
“Singapore has been a special place for us,” Lai said after making the quarterfinal of this edition with a 10-21 21-18 21-10 win over PERODUA Malaysia Masters 2022 runners-up Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari at the very same Singapore Indoor Stadium yesterday.
“This is where we won our first and only Super 500 tournament. To be honest, we are looking forward to getting another title here, to add to our Singapore collection.
