PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s top mixed doubles pair Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying have been handed a massive boost in their bid for a third World Tour title this year.
The world No. 7 pair seem to have a clear run to the Korean Masters title in Gwangju this week with the absence of top rivals Yuta Watanabe-Arisa Higashino of Japan, Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand and He Jiting-Du Yue of China.
