KUALA LUMPUR: Mixed doubles Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin produced an impressive performance, but it was not enough to win their first Super 750 title at the China Masters in Shenzhen today.
The world No. 23 fought for 92 minutes against world No. 2 Feng Yan Zhe-Huang Dong Ping before losing 21-23, 25-23, 21-16 to the China pair in the final.
It was the Malaysian pair's first final on the World Tour.
However, Pang Ron-Su Yin can still afford to smile, earning US$40,250 (RM180,000) for their efforts in Shenzhen.
