  "account": "Tee Kai Wun-Yap Roy King, the men's doubles shuttlers from Malaysia, have advanced to the China Masters quarter-finals. This marks the second time a scratch pair from the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) has reached this stage. The duo, who clinched the Korea Masters title recently, defeated Indonesia's Rayhan Ali Faathir-Devin Artha Wahyudi in a tight 34-minute contest, winning 21-16, 21-19. Tee Kai Wun-Roy King, who have been paired since July, will now take on Japan's world No 28, Takumi Nomura-Yuichi Shimogami, in the quarter-finals. Earlier in the tournament, another scratch pair, Soh Wooi Yik-Aaron Tai, made a strong debut, defeating China's world No 10 Chen Bo Yang-Liu Yi in straight games in the second round. The BAM is currently working on testing new combinations to identify the most effective pairs for future tournaments, with an eye on the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028.",
