The meeting between Rehan/Lisa and Praveen/Melati will be the first match for both pairs, so player skills are needed to find the best strategy to win the match.

The feud between their compatriots was confirmed after Rehan/Lisa’s round of 16 win over Lee Jhe Huei/Hsu Ya Ching on Thursday.
Rehan/Lisa are more adaptable to situations on the pitch, encouraging their ability to find the best pattern of play.

“You have to maintain focus and communication with the partners. We want to show the best,” added Lisa.
Meanwhile, mixed doubles Pelatnas Cipayung’s Praveen/Melati also claimed success in the Round of 16 after beating Canadian pair Ty ALexander Lindeman/Josephine Wu.
