Former national shuttler Datuk James Selvaraj has called on world No. 3 pair Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani to improve their tactical play following a shaky first-round win at the China Masters. The Malaysian duo narrowly avoided a fourth straight early exit, edging Indonesia’s Rian Ardianto and Yeremia Rambitan 12-21, 21-11, 22-20 after nearly blowing a 20-14 lead in the decider. Selvaraj believes they must regain their sharpness to reclaim the fearsome form that briefly earned them the world No. 1 spot earlier this year. The win offers hope but also a warning.
