PETALING JAYA: The draw may have done few favours for Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, but the country’s top doubles pair believe it will not derail their hopes of securing a maiden World Championships medal in Basel, Switzerland, next week.

The world No. 11, who received a first-round bye, could run into their nemesis and defending champions Li Junhui-Liu Yuchen of China in the last 16.
