PETALING JAYA: Men’s doubles pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani secured their biggest success on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) tour when they captured the Japan Open title in Yokohama on Sunday.

Sze Fei-Izzuddin stunned world champions Kang Min Hyuk-Seo Seung-jae of South Korea 21-19, 21-15 in the final to nail their first super 750 crown on the tour.
