PETALING JAYA: The badminton competition schedules for the opening two days are out and it doesn’t look good for doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.

The world No. 9 will open their Group D campaign against eighth ranked South Korea’s Seo Seung-jae-Choi Sol-gyu on July 24, followed by what could be a ‘make or break’ clash with second seeds and Indonesia’s world No. 2 Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan either the next day or July 26.
