On November 5, Malaysian professional men's doubles pair Chia Weijie-Teo Ee Yi advanced to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open Badminton Championships at the Jinnam Stadium in Yeosu. The team, who defeated fourth seeds and world No. 11 Chen Bo Yang-Liu Yi of China in just 34 minutes, swiftly eliminated world No. 38 He Zhi-wei-Huang Jui-hsuan in the second round, completing the match in 28 minutes.
If Chia and Weijie-Ee Yi continue their strong performance, they will face either Goh V Shem-Choi Sol-gyu from Malaysia and South Korea, or Japan's former world champions Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi in the next round.
On the women's side, national player K. Letshanaa's progress in the Korea Open was cut short when she lost to world No. 1 An Se-young of South Korea in the second round. The match ended with a score of 10-21, 12-21, and Letshanaa will not progress further in the tournament. An Se-young will next face either Japan's Riko Gunji or Taiwan's Tung Ciou-tong for a spot in the semi-finals.
