Our shuttlers get chance to boost rankings in absence of top pairs at Thailand Open


PETALING JAYA: The Thailand Open is a rare occasion that only four of the top 15 pairs will be competing in the men’s doubles and this bodes well for rising pairs Choong Hon Jian-Mohd Haikal Nazri and Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King in Bangkok.

The focus of the top pairs have shifted to their preparation towards the 2024 Paris Olympics from July 27-Aug 5 and this include Malaysia who have rested world No. 4 Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik from the tournament.
