KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 — National women’s doubles shuttler Teoh Mei Xing is happy to have had the opportunity to bring the curtain down on her badminton career on home soil, despite missing out on a winning farewell at the Malaysia Super 100 in Iskandar Puteri, Johor.

In a recent Instagram post, she expressed gratitude for being able to play her final tournament in Malaysia, where she partnered Tan Zhi Yang.

The pair lost 12-21, 21-17, 21-15 to South Korea’s Jin Sung Ik and Lee Seung-hee in the first round at the Indoor Arena, EduCity Sports Complex, on Wednesday.

“I am grateful that my last dance is in Malaysia, but I am a bit disappointed that I didn't get a title before I end my badminton career.
