Hitoshi Murakami\/Takashi Tsuchiya of Japan won the bronze medal when they disposed of Poland\u2019s Piotr Illewicz\/Adrian Sdebel, 21-15, 21-18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the women\u2019s category, Dykstra\/House (USA) added the Langkawi Open gold to their haul following their victory at the Battambang event in Cambodia recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
