KUALA LUMPUR: After years of misery, doubles shuttler Vivian Hoo is out to end the jinx in the All-England.

Vivian will be playing for the first time with Yap Cheng Wen at the prestigious tournament starting on Wednesday in Birmingham – and nothing but at least a quarter-final finish will bring a smile to her face. And she will be hoping for some beginner’s luck for Cheng Wen.

Even with her former partner Woon Khe Wei in the past, Vivian has never gone beyond the second round of the All-England. The duo are currently ranked behind teammates Chow Mei Kuan-Lee Meng Yean in the Road to Tokyo rankings. Only 16 pairs will qualify for the Tokyo Games and Mei Kuan-Meng Yean are in 10th spot while Vivian-Cheng Wen are 27th.

The eighth seeded Greysia-Apriyani are the favourites but the Malaysians gave the duo a good fight before going down 18-21,19-21 in the semi-finals of the individual competition at the Philippines SEA Games last year.
