No stopping Aaron-Roy King in Japan Masters

Malaysian men's doubles duo Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King aim to add a second title to their collection as they prepare to face Japan's Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi in the Japan Masters final. The pair secured their place in the final after defeating Denmark's Daniel Lundgaard-Mads Vestergaard in the semi-finals with a convincing 21-18, 21-18 victory at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium.

Ranked world No 57, Aaron and Roy King have demonstrated remarkable consistency in the tournament, winning all five of their matches without dropping a set. The Malaysian pair will now aim to become the second team in their short partnership to win multiple titles, following their Arctic Open triumph earlier this month. Their impressive run includes victories over top-ranked pairs such as Malaysia's Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani, Chinese Taipei's Lee Jhe-Huei-Yang Yang Po-Hsuan, and Japan's Kakeru Kumagai-Hiroki Nishi.
