In a thrilling final at the Swiss Open, England’s Ben Lane and Sean Vendy claimed victory in the men’s doubles by defeating Indonesia’s Shohibul Fikri and Bagas Maulana. Despite trailing 17-20 in the second game, Lane and Vendy staged a remarkable comeback to win 24-22, 28-26. Vendy, despite sustaining a foot injury at a crucial moment, displayed resilience and determination to secure the win.

The triumph marked their first World Tour Super 300 title, bringing joy to the English pair after a long wait. On the other hand, it was disappointment for Shohibul and Bagas, who have struggled to clinch individual titles since their victory at the All-England two years ago. The result reflects a significant turnaround for Lane and Vendy, who had faced early exits in previous tournaments this year.
