3 Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang of China in the first round of the German Open starting on Tuesday (Feb 24). In the three tournaments they competed in last month, starting with the Malaysian Open, Indian Open and Indonesian Masters, they were eliminated in the opening round each time. As such, Haikal has opted to keep his expectations in check, fully aware that Weikeng-Wang Chang are a formidable combination. At the same time, Haikal admitted he still carries a sense of apprehension, worried that his old injury could resurface. Apart from Hon Jian-Haikal, Malaysia still have several men’s doubles pairs in the fray at the German Open.
