Ben Lane and Sean Vendy began their men's doubles campaign with a loss to Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik. The British duo took the first game 21-19, but the Malaysians won the next two games 21-16 and 21-11. Lane and Vendy will likely face top seeds Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang of China in their next match, needing a win to stay in contention for progression from Group A. The loss marks a challenging start for the British pair in the competition.
