Kien Keat: Aaron-Wooi Yik in similar situation to me and Boon Heong in 2010

We’ve been there: Koo Kien Keat (right) and Tan Boon Heong in action at the 2010 World Championships in Paris.

PETALING JAYA: Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong were never expected to reach the final of the World Championships in Paris 2010 and 12 years later, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik have achieved their breakthrough in an almost identical pattern.

Kien Keat, having gone through the ups and downs with Boon Heong as a top Malaysian pair, has applauded the way Aaron-Wooi Yik have bounced back by playing to their true ability.
