KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will have two chances to win titles at the Kaohsiung Masters after both Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting and Wee Yee Hern-Vannee Gobi reached their respective finals on Saturday.
Malaysia's Ong Xin Yee-Carmen and Wee Yee Hern-Vannee secured their spots in the Kaohsiung Masters finals on Saturday.
