Aaron Tai-Roy King advance in Denmark Open, to face Aaron Chia-Wooi Yik next

Arctic Open champions Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King has issued a warning to their own peers about their upcoming match against Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik in the Denmark Open. Aaron-Roy King, who are world No. 142, defeated South Korean pair Kang Min Hyuk-Lee Jong Min in their first-round match. Aaron Tai, 20, expressed confidence in their ability to play their best in the upcoming clash.
