SHAH ALAM: Men’s doubles shuttler Soh Wooi Yik avoided another birthday blues in the Asia Team Championships against Japan.
Wooi Yik, who turned 26 yesterday, had suffered a shock 21-23, 16-21 defeat along with Aaron Chia to unheralded Japanese pair Ayato Endo-Yuta Takei in the last edition of the team meet two years ago on his birthday.
