The world No. 6 pair had struggled in the opening game, trailing 15-21, but regained their composure in the final game to avert an upset and maintain their perfect record against the Grimley brothers at 2-0. Sze Fei-Izzuddin will now face Taiwan's Chiu Hsiang Chieh-Wang Chi Lin, with their head-to-head rivalry evenly split at one win each. This victory completes a perfect day for Malaysia's men's doubles, as Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun also advanced to the last 16, guaranteeing Malaysia at least one men's doubles quarter-finalist.",
