Nur Izzuddin bin Mohd Rumsani (born 11 November 1997) is a Malaysian badminton player.[1] He won the 2022 German Open in the men's doubles event partnered with Goh Sze Fei.
Career
[edit]In January 2017, Izzuddin and his partner Goh Sze Fei entered their first Grand Prix Gold final at the 2017 Malaysia Masters and finished up as runner-ups.[2][3]
2022
[edit]In March, Izzuddin and Goh won their first BWF World Tour title at the 2022 German Open beating Liu Yuchen and Ou Xuanyi in three games.[4] In the following week, they entered their second consecutive final at the 2022 Swiss Open but lost out to rivals Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto.[5]
In April, Izzuddin and Goh fell to compatriots Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik at the semi-finals of 2022 Badminton Asia Championships, securing them a bronze medal.[6]
In December, Izzuddin captured the Malaysia International title partnered with Muhammad Haikal.[7]
2023
[edit]In January, following their underwhelming results in the past few months, Izzuddin and long-time partner Goh Sze Fei decided to split-up, citing lack of connection and loss of trust.[8]
In March, Izzuddin and new partner Muhammad Haikal reached their first BWF World Tour final at the 2023 Ruichang China Masters, but went down to the home pair of Chen Boyang and Liu Yi in rubber game.[9]
Around four months after splitting up, Izzuddin and Goh Sze Fei reunited at the end of May.[10] The pair set aside their differences and decided to rekindle their partnership in quest for the 2024 Summer Olympics spot.[11]
In July, Izzuddin and Goh competed at the 2023 U.S. Open, their first tournament after reuniting. The pair emerged as winners defeating Chinese Taipei's Lee Fang-chih and Lee Fang-jen in the final.[12]
2024
[edit]In December, Izzuddin and Goh finished their extraordinary 2024 season as the runners-up of the BWF World Tour Finals, losing to Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark in the final with a score of 17–21, 21–17, 11–21. Their achievement elevated them to world number 3, the highest ever ranking in their career. With that, they have become the top Malaysian men's doubles pair, taking over Olympic bronze medalists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik. That achievement also marks them being the first men's doubles pair in Malaysia to reach the final of the BWF World Tour Series since its establishment in 2018.[13]
2025
[edit]On 19 January, Izzuddin and Goh snapped their first India Open title by defeating Korean pair of Seo Seung-jae and Kim Won-ho in 3 sets.[14] It was also the first title of the year for the pair.[15]
