Doo Hoi-kem was denied a second title in six days, after the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist and fellow Hongkonger Pedrey Ng Wing-lam were beaten 3-0 by Qin Yuxuan and Zong Geman in the WTT Contender Muscat women’s doubles final on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Doo enjoyed mixed doubles success last Sunday, combining with long-standing partner Wong Chun-ting for the WTT Star Contender Doha crown.
Doo transferred her good form to Oman, an early mixed-doubles exit alongside Wong notwithstanding.
She reached the singles semi-finals before losing 3-1 to No 4 seed He Zhuojia, but went one better alongside Ng in the women’s doubles draw.
On Friday, the Hong Kong pair impressively overcame No 1 seeds Shi Xunyao and Wang Xiaotong in their semi-final without dropping a game.
But another mainland pair in Qin and Zong, the No 2 seeds, proved a different prospect altogether, sweeping Doo and Ng aside in 26 minutes.
Doo and Ng squandered points for the opening game at 10-9 and 11-10, before their opponents capitalised on their second game point to take it 14-12.
