Korea Masters set for all-Malaysian men’s doubles final
Soh Wooi Yik-Man Wei Chong salvage two match points in the second game to defeat Japanese duo in a stunning comeback victory.
Korea Masters is set to feature an all-Malaysian men's doubles final, with Soh Wooi Yik-Man Wei Chong and his newly paired opponent, Tee Kai Wun-Yap Roy King, to clash in the upcoming match. The Malaysian pair's victory came after defeating their Japanese counterparts, Haruki Kawabe-Kenta Matsukawa, in a thrilling three-game battle.
Soh Wooi Yik-Man, who lost the opening game 18-21, staged a resilient comeback to secure the match 22-20, 21-18 in a nail-biting 59-minute contest at the Yi Sun-sin Gymnasium in Asan, Korea. This will be the first final for the Malaysian duo, as they had previously exited in the round-robin stage of three tournaments they had participated in together.
Their upcoming opponent, Tee Kai Wun-Yap Roy King, is also a Malaysian pair that was only formed about a month ago. The pair has only competed in three tournaments so far. Soh Wooi Yik-Man's previous partner, Aaron Chia, won the men's doubles title at the 2024 Korea Masters with his then-partner.
