Aaron-Wooi Yik assured of podium finish at World Championships
KUALA LUMPUR: Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik proved they are the most bankable Malaysian men's doubles pair after confirming their third World Championships medal and delivering the perfect birthday gift for coach Herry IP by reaching the last four in New Delhi today.
Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik secured a podium finish at the World Championships, celebrating their third medal and giving coach Herry IP a perfect birthday gift. The Malaysian pair advanced to the last four with a decisive 21-11, 21-17 victory over China’s Hu Ke Yuan-Lin Xiang Yi at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium. It marked their third consecutive win over the Chinese duo, solidifying their status as the most dependable Malaysian men’s doubles team.
Aaron-Wooi Yik, the 2022 world champions and 2023 bronze medalists, had previously exited in the last eight in Paris. The outcome in New Delhi is particularly encouraging, as the national men’s doubles department is currently undergoing a reshuffle. Aaron is now partnering Aaron Tai, while Wooi Yik has been playing with Man Wei Chong in recent World Tour events.
The pair expressed their determination to continue their decade-long partnership, aiming to win a world title in New Delhi to ensure their future in the sport.
