Malaysia assured of semis spot in Korea Masters men’s doubles
Malaysia’s new pairing, Tee Kai Wun-Yap Roy King, will face compatriots Aaron Chia-Aaron Tai in the quarter-finals.
In a thrilling match at the Korea Masters, Malaysia secured their place in the semi-finals of the men's doubles competition. Freshly formed duo Tee Kai Wun and Yap Roy King outplayed South Korea's Jin Yong-Lee and Jong Min 21-15, 21-13 in just 35 minutes, eliciting a roar from the home crowd. This victory assures Malaysia of a quarter-final clash against their fellow Malaysians, Aaron Chia and Aaron Tai.
Malaysia's success at the tournament extends beyond their doubles pairing. Three other Malaysian representatives also advance to the quarter-finals: men's singles player Soh Wooi Yik with his partner Man Wei Chong, as well as mixed doubles teams Cheng Tang Jie and Clarissa San, Jimmy Wong and Cheng Su Yin, and Loo Bing Kun and Noraqilah Maisarah Ramdan.
The Malaysian men's doubles finalists will face either Indian pair Krishna Prasad Garaga and Krishnamurthy Roy, or home team Kim Young Hyuk and Shin Tae Yang in the quarter-finals tomorrow.
