  "account": "Malaysian badminton duo Tee Kai Wun-Yap Roy King have advanced to the China Masters quarter-finals. The pair, champions at the Korea Masters, secured a 21-16, 21-19 victory over Indonesia's Rayhan Ali Faathir-Devin Artha Wahyudi in just 34 minutes. This marks the second time in the country's history that a scratch pair has reached this stage of the prestigious tournament. Prior to their China Masters journey, King had been playing alongside teammate Tee Kai Wun since July. Their victory comes after another Malaysian scratch pair, Soh Wooi Yik-Aaron Tai, made a surprising second-round win against China's world No 10 duo Chen Bo Yang-Liu Yi. The Badminton Association of Malaysia is actively testing various combinations in anticipation of the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.",
