Roy King eyes bigger prizes after 'unreal' Korea triumph
KUALA LUMPUR: Yap Roy King described his Korea Masters triumph with Tee Kai Wun as “unreal” after the Malaysian pair completed a remarkable turnaround in Asan on Sunday.
Malaysian badminton duo Yap Roy King and Tee Kai Wun achieved an "unreal" victory at the Korea Masters, overcoming first-round defeats at the China Open and Taiwan Open. The men's doubles champions from Malaysia secured a 21-13, 21-18 win in the final, expressing surprise at their sudden improvement. Roy King attributed their success to the time they spent training together, allowing them to better understand each other's gameplay.
Despite the breakthrough, the 25-year-old is determined not to become complacent, as the Korea Masters is a World Tour Super 300 event. Roy King will now compete with Arif Junaidi at the World Championships in New Delhi from August 17-23, where they face Vietnam's Dinh Hoang Nguyen-Dinh Manh Tran in the first round.
