Aaron-Wooi Yik hungry for titles more than world ranking


Ready to rumble: Aaron Chia (right) and Soh Wooi Yik will face Taiwan’s Lee Jhe-huei-Yang Po-hsuan in the first round.

PETALING JAYA: The world ranking is not a major concern for the nation’s top men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik but what matters is to satisfy their hunger to win their first world tour title as soon as possible.

It may sound odd that world No. 3 Aaron-Wooi Yik have already been crowned world champions without having won a tour title and the curtain raiser Malaysian Open, which begins at the Axiata Arena on Tuesday, will provide them with a genuine opportunity.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
