KUALA LUMPUR: National shuttlers Hoon Thien How-Tan Wee Kiong and Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong served up an awesome double joy for Malaysia in the French Open when they pulled off great jobs to set up an all Malaysian men's doubles semi-final clash in Paris.

Unseeded Thien How-Wee Kiong carved up the biggest shocker of the day in the quarter-finals on Friday when they dumped Denmark Open champions Lee Yong-dae-Yoo Yeon-seong of South Korea 21-13, 21-10 in just 33 minutes.
