Aaron Tai-Roy King face Aaron Chia-Wooi Yik in blockbuster clash
KUALA LUMPUR: Newly crowned Arctic Open champions Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King continued where they left off as they set up an all-Malaysia last 16 clash against Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik at the Denmark Open today.
Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King, the triumphant duo from the recent Arctic Open in Finland, are currently on a winning streak as they advance through the Denmark Open. After an initial sluggish performance where their opponents Kang Min Hyuk-Lee Jong Min claimed the first game, the Malaysian pair responded swiftly, defeating the South Korean duo 13-21, 21-18, 21-19 in a match that lasted just 57 minutes at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense, Denmark.
This rapid turnaround marks their first time competing together, but they are seasoned doubles players with World Tour experience, having partnered other athletes in the past.
As they move forward, their second-round opponent promises to be daunting - world No 4 compatriot Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik. Meanwhile, in the mixed doubles category, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie also secured their place in the second round by defeating the US pair, Chen Zhi Yi-Francesca Corbett, 21-15, 21-13 in a match that took just 30 minutes. They will face the winners of the upcoming match between Scottish pair Alexander Dunn-Julie Macpherson and Danish pair Mathias Christiansen-Alexandra Boje in the last 16 round.
