PETALING JAYA: Joy turned to despair for independent singles shuttler Soong Joo Ven just within four hours at the Badminton Association of Malaysia Invitational Championships. 1 Zii Jia suffered the same fate as he too withdrew from the tournament due to cramps and fatigue. He failed to recover from the match against Joo Ven and conceded a walkover to Ng Tze Yong. "I went on to play the second match hours later...I wanted to give my best and fight all the way. And without Daren, Joo Ven and Zii Jia, the race is open for Cheam June Wei and Leong Jun Hao to win the title.
