The in-form Malaysians smashed another barrier by defeating CLASH ROYALE Arctic Open 2024 top seeds Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang for the first time in four meetings on Saturday. The come-from-behind 19-21 21-17 21-18 win sent them into their third final in five tournaments.
“We prepared well, we weren’t thinking about the result. The focus was on giving our best and that was key. We were calm and enjoyed the game,” said Goh post-match.
The bout against defending champions Kim Astrup/Anders Skaarup Rasmussen at Energia Arena today would mark the fourth final of the season for the world No.8s. Now independent shuttlers, they arrived in Vantaa having won the Japan and China Opens, their maiden Super 750 and Super 1000 titles respectively.
