  "account": "Malaysian men's doubles duo Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and Chia Wei Jie-Teo Ee Yi have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Korea Open after a swift 33-minute match against Taiwanese opponents. The World No 9 pair triumphed 24-22, 21-12 at the World Tour Super 500 tournament in Yeosu. The Malaysian champions, who clinched the French Open title last month, will face Japan's 57th-ranked pair Haruki Kawabe-Kenta Matsukawa in the next round. Meanwhile, world No 39 Chia Wei Jie-Teo Ee Yi, who stunned China's world No 11 pair Chen Bo Yang-Liu Yi in their first round match, defeated Taiwan's He Zhi Wei-Huang Jui Hsuan in just 28 minutes, sealing a 21-9, 21-19 victory. The Malaysian pair will advance to the quarter-finals to face either the Japanese duo of Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi or the South Korean-Malaysian combination of Choi Sol Gyu-Goh-Goh V Shem. However, Malaysian women's singles player Lethsanaa was defeated by South Korean shuttler An Se Young 21-10, 21-12 in 36 minutes, bringing an end to Malaysia's aspirations in the women's singles category.",
