Malaysia Open: Jin Wei revives singles hopes', men's doubles guaranteed last eight spot

Goh did enough to secure progression to the second round after she overcame Chinese Taipei’s Sung Shuo-yun 21-18, 21-11 after 40-minutes.

The world number 31 later clarified she has changed medication in her latest attempt to maximize her training intensity.

“At this stage, I am really trying my best to go beyond the limit. Even though I have cramps, I still go for training. My training for the last month during the off-season has been mostly concentrated on my physical condition even though I feel it’s not enough.

“I am up against Gregoria tomorrow and I am looking forward to it,” Goh said.

The 23-year-old, who has struggled with stomach ailments in the past, will face Indonesia’s Gregoria Mariska Tunjung in what is expected to be an interesting match-up.

Malaysia are guaranteed a spot in the men’s doubles quarter-finals after Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin both won their matches to face each other on Thursday.

Chia-Soh came from a game down to beat Danish pair Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard 20-22, 21-13, 21-13, while Goh-Izzuddin overcame their Thai opponents in straight games 21-17, 22-20.

Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei and Chan Peng Soon-Cheah Yee See also came through in the mixed doubles after beating their French and Chinese Taipei opponents.

Chen-Toh who overcame Thom Gicquel-Delphine Delrue 21-17, 21-18, will be up against either an American or Japanese pair.

Chan-Cheah beat Chang Ko-chi-Lee Chih-chen 11-21, 26-24, 21-8 to set-up a meeting against Chinese pair Jiang Zhen Bang-Wei Ya Xin.

Ng meanwhile had to retire with a back injury just 13-minutes into his match against Koki Watanabe.
