PETALING JAYA: With the 2025 season now behind them, seasoned mixed doubles pair Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie admit that physical demands have become their biggest challenge as they grow older. In the current top 10 world mixed doubles rankings, Soon Huat, 35, and Shevon, 32, are among the most senior pairs on the circuit. Most of their competitors are under 30, which makes it even more challenging for Soon Huat and Shevon to match the speed and stamina of the younger pairs on court. Soon Huat and Shevon are determined to work even harder in 2026. “Even though RTG has never questioned us about our results, Soon Huat and I feel that every opportunity carries a huge responsibility.
