Despite being greenhorns in the Thomas Cup, Fairuzizuan-Zakry led a fierce fight and scored the 2nd point for Malaysia, defeating the Chinese pair, balancing the points at 2-2. However, Malaysia was eventually defeated through the third singles.

In the Singapore Open in June, Fairuzizuan-Zakry faced compatriots Gan Teik Chai-Lin Woon Fui in the men's doubles finals. Fairuzizuan-Zakry defeated Gan-Lin by straight sets.
