Having fallen in the final of the last two editions of the Swiss Open, Goh Soon Huat and Lai Shevon Jemie made no mistake in their third opportunity. The Malaysian mixed doubles duo outgunned compatriots Chen Tang Jie/Toh Ee Wei for their first HSBC BWF World Tour title in nearly six years at the YONEX Swiss Open 2024.
“This is our third year here, and we really wanted the gold,” said Lai. “We didn’t give up, we were steady from the first match and we supported each other no matter what happened on and off the court. We stayed on the attack and that gave us the advantage.
“Our emotional control was much better today. We didn’t put ourselves in a tight situation today, we kept believing in ourselves. We knew what we would do if we were cornered. It’s definitely a good confidence boost for us.”
