Badminton: British duo set to enter the top 100

Longniddry's Robert Blair and England's Gabby White will leap into the world's top 100 in mixed doubles following their shock run to the semi-finals at the Proton Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur - and they will be hoping for more ranking points at this week's Victor Korea Open.

The British badminton pair just started training together this month and they battled through two rounds of qualifying and beat the top seeds before being toppled 11-21, 15-21 by the Chinese No.5 seeds, Tao Jiaming and Qing Tjan.

Blair played for Scotland before defecting to England eight years ago. However, having being left out of England's World Championship and Commonwealth Games team last year, he has returned to Scotland and is now training at the National Centre at Scotstoun.
