Mixed doubles duo Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai defeated Germany’s Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Lohau 21-17, 21-7 in the opening round of the Malaysia Open on Tuesday.
The win against the world No.12 duo should be a tonic for the Thai pair who has dropped to No.2 in the world after suffering two consecutive first-round exits in Indonesia.
In the second round, top seeds Dechapol and Sapsiree will meet compatriots Supak Jomkoh and Supissara Paewsampran.
Supak and Supissara beat Japan’s Kyohei Yamashita and Naru Shinoya 21-8, 11-21, 24-22 in their opening match in the World Tour Super 750 tournament.
