PETALING JAYA: The recent retirements of some high profile men’s doubles players is something Aaron Chia wants to exploit with Soh Wooi Yik – but he is well aware that their own advancing age and emerging talents will make it tough in the men’s doubles scene post Paris Olympics.
China No. 2 Liu Yuchen-Ou Xuanyi, once ranked second in the world, and Taiwan shuttler Lee Yang, who defended the men’s doubles gold with Wang Chi-lin in Paris, have retired.
