Glasgow’s Imogen Bankier and partner Chris Adcock of England went agonisingly close to a place in the final of the Bitburger Open in Saarbrucken at the weekend before going out to eventual champions Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei.
The Chinese pair, who are also the reigning Yonex All England Champions, started the match strongly and led for almost the entirety of the first game, taking it 21-17 on their first game point.
Bankier and Adcock hit back in the second, taking control of the game early and going on to win it 21-18, but they couldn’t repeat that feat in the decider, eventually losing out 21-17 18-21 24-22. |
