PETALING JAYA: Youngsters Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik have a score to settle with Indonesian hotshots Marcus Fernaldi Gideon-Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo when the pairs collide today in the men’s doubles quarter-finals of the Japan Open. A battle royal is on the cards, going by their first clash at the Malaysian Open last year when Aaron-Wooi Yik gave the world No. 1 pair a run for their money before losing 18-21, 28-30.
Aaron-Wooi Yik are aiming to keep their fine run going in the Japan Open after pack-ing off world No. 6 pair Han Chengkai-Zhou Haodong of China 22-20, 23-25, 21-14 in a hard fought 65-minute battle at the Musashino Forest Sports Plaza in Tokyo yesterday.
