Doubles to the fore


Superb win: Malaysia’s Anna Cheong (back) and Teoh Mei Xing celebrate after their biggest career win.

DOUBLES shuttlers roared the loudest at the Axiata Arena when four pairs made it to the quarter-finals.

Independent shuttlers Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi started the ball rolling when they pulled off an explosive show to stun Tokyo Olympics champions Lee Yang-Wang Chi-lin of Taiwan 21-17, 21-18 in a 41-minute second round match.
