Kian Meng-Peng Soon hope to serve surprise in doubles


No pressure: Scratch pair Tan Kian Meng (left) and Chan Peng Soon feel good about playing together for the first time.

WHILE all eyes will be on Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, a scratch pair are quietly hoping to spring a surprise in the individual event.

Aaron-Wooi Yik are one of the gold medal hopefuls while nothing much is expected of Tan Kian Meng and Chan Peng Soon as their focus is in the mixed doubles with Lai Pei Jing and Cheah Yee See respectively.
