Aifa Azman, however, was forced to hold her nerve in a five-game thriller against Chan Sin Yuk, which at 44 minutes lasted twice as long as any other match today.

In front of a packed crowd that included the King of Malaysia, Azman recovered from squandering four match balls in the fourth game to win 11-2, 6-11, 14-12, 13-15, 11-9.
