Malaysian Open Dunlop Futures F3 - Yew Ming-Aqeel play bridesmaid.

IT could have been a perfect fairy-tale but it was not meant to be.

Former national champion Si Yew Ming (pic) and Pakistani number 2 Aqeel Khan failed to deliever when it mattered the most after losing 7-6(4), 6-3 to Yang Tsung-Hua and Yu Xin-Yuan in the men's doubles final of the Malaysian Open Dunlop Futures F3.

Yew Ming and Aqeel, nevertheless, displayed true fighting spirit especially in the first set.

All is not lost for Yew Ming as despite his defeat, playing bridesmaid is certainly a career high for the Ipoh player.

Meanwhile, Italian Luigi D'Agord will square it off with Taiwan's Chen Ti in the men's singles final.
