Pang Ron-Pei Jing storm into Hylo Open semis in Germany
The Malaysian pair have now made it to five World Tour semi-finals since pairing up in May.
Malaysia's rising men's doubles duo, Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King, overcame the formidable Indonesian pair of Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Reza Pahlevi Isfahani to advance to the quarter-finals of the Hylo Open in Germany. The world-ranked 74 pair stunned their opponents with a 22-20, 21-19 victory in just 38 minutes at the Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken. This thrilling win came after the duo saved two match points in the first set, demonstrating their resilience and determination on the court.
Since forming their partnership, Aaron-Roy King have quickly ascended the rankings, vaulting 276 places from their previous 350 position within just four weeks. Their journey began together at the Arctic Open in early October, where they clinched the championship title. Both players will face either Taiwan's Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin or French duo Natan Begga-Gregoire Deschamp in the next round of the World Tour Super 500 event, facing off tomorrow.
