ChoongHann pulled off a hard fought win over Indonesia's Simon Santoso in his first match while Tan Fook-Wan Wah dashed Danish hopes when they beat former world champions Lars Paaske-Jonas Rasmussen of Denmark 21-23, 21-18, 23-21 in their opening men's doubles Group A match yesterday.
ChoongHann, who is on the comeback trail after a long lay-off due to injury, beat Simon 21-18, 10-21, 21-19 in Group B on Wednesday.
ChoongHann ruptured his Achilles heel during the Thomas Cup Finals in Japan in May this year but made good recovery to feature for Malaysia in the team competition in the Doha Asian Games recently.
