The world No 4 pair beat South Koreans Kim Won Ho-Seu Seung Jae in straight games in a surprisingly one-sided semi-final match.

Aaron-Wooi Yik crush world’s top pair to enter Denmark Open final

Men's doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik are on the brink of securing their first World Tour title of the year after advancing to the final of the Denmark Open. The Malaysian pair narrowly triumphed over the world's top-ranked duo from South Korea, facing off in a decisive match at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense. The decisive 21-14, 21-18 victory was achieved in just 38 minutes, leaving fans in awe of the young athletes' prowess.

Aaron and Wooi Yik will now face off against either Indonesian pair Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri or China's Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang in the championship final. The Malaysian pair, who have previously faced each other three times, have a combined record of 3-3. Since reuniting for this tournament, they have yet to secure a World Tour title, having come in second at the Malaysia Open, All England, and World Championships.
