Tough customers: South Korea’s Lee Yong-dae (left) and Kim Gi-jung are the quarter-final opponents for Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi in the Malaysian Masters.

Newly-turned professionals Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi are well aware of that, and showed their determination to make the cut as professionals with their first win in three meetings against the world No. 11 Chinese pair of Han Cheng Kai-Zhou Haodong.
