Malaysia’s campaign in the SCG Badminton Asia Junior Championships at the CPB Badminton and Sports Science Training Center in Bangkok came to an end after the completion of the semi-finals on Saturday.

Sixth seeds Ooi Zi Heng-Soh Wooi Yik failed to into the men’s doubles final after their 15-21, 17-21 defeat to China’s third seeds Han Chengkai-Zhou Haodong in the semi-finals in 31 minutes.

It will be an all-China final in the men’s doubles against top seeds He Jiting-Tan Qiang who eased past compatriots Fan Qiuyue-Ren Xiangyu 21-10, 21-16 in 25 minutes.

The men’s final will see Taiwan’s  seventh seed Lee Chia Hao take on China’s eighth seed Sun Feixiang. Chia Hao prevented an all-China final when he snuffed out Liu Haichao in a hard fought 21-14, 16-21, 21-17 match which lasted 63 minutes.

Earlier Feixaing stopped India’s hope Lakshya Sen in straights with a 21-12, 21-16 win in 43 minutes. 

Indonesia’s Gregoria Mariska booked her place in the women’s singles with a 21-13, 13-21, 21-10 win over China’s Gao Fangjie and in the final exacted sweet revenge on the Chinese for her defeat in last year’s junior world championships in Lima, Peru in the quarter-finals.

The Indonesian lass will face another Chinese hurdle in Chen Yufie who had a free ride into the final after South Korea’s Kim Ga-eun conceded a walkover due to a thigh injury.

The mixed doubles saw Korea’s Kim Won-ho-Lee Yu-rim pull of an upset 21-17, 22-20 win over third seeds Rinov Rivaldy-Apriani Rahayu to advance to the final against top-seeds He Jiting-Du Yue of China. The Chinese won 21-14, 21-12 against compatriots Zhou Haodong-Hu Yuxiang.
