ODENSE: Former world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik's perfect record against Chen Boyang-Liu Yi of China has ended in the Denmark Open.
Third seeds Aaron-Wooi Yik, who won the title last year, went down 20-22, 15-21 in 41 minutes to the unseeded pair in the men's doubles quarter-finals at the Jyske Bank Arena in Odense on Friday (Oct 18).
It was the Malaysians' first defeat to Boyang-Liu Yi after having secured wins at the Malaysian Masters and Arctic Open this year.
Wooi Yik said the opening game defeat broke their rhythm.
"It was quite tight in the first and our opponents were so fast. We found it hard to raise our game in the second," said Wooi Yik.
They will compete in the Korean Open from Nov 5-10 in Iksan City.
