KUALA LUMPUR: Doubles shuttler Vivian Hoo’s dream of a deep run in her swan song at the Malaysia Open was unfulfilled as she and her partner, Lim Chiew Sien, were eliminated in the second round.

Vivian and Chiew Sien put up a fierce fight against China's Tan Ning-Liu Shengshu, but the Olympic Games silver medalist proved too difficult to overcome.
