PETALING JAYA: The rivalry between men’s doubles pairs Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani and Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik is heating up heading into the new year after the former overtook the latter to become the national No. 1.

Sze Fei though is not getting carried away and has played down the significance of ending Aaron-Wooi Yik’s reign as the top pair in the country since 2019.
