PETALING JAYA: Indonesia’s in-form men’s doubles pair Leo Rolly-Daniel Marthin look set to provide a stern test for national No. 1 Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik in the first round of the All-England (March 14-19) in Birmingham.

Reigning world champions Aaron-Wooi Yik, who reached the final of the 2019 edition, will need to be at their best from the start this time as world No. 11 Leo-Daniel are currently on a hot streak having claimed back-to-back titles at the Indonesian and Thailand Masters last month.
