Aaron-Wooi Yik storm into Thailand Open final


PETALING JAYA: Shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik are just one win away from their second title of the year after storming into the men's doubles final in the Thailand Open.

Aaron-Wooi Yik were on top of their game and pulled off a dominant 21-17, 21-13 win over home favourites Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Kittinupong Kedren in just 38 minutes at the Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok on Saturday (May 17).

It was the world No. 5 pair's third consecutive victory over the world No. 16 Thai duo, ensuring they stayed unbeaten against the latter.

Aaron-Wooi Yik, who captured the Asian Championships crown last month, are looking for back-to-back titles when they take on either Indonesia's world No. 4 Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto or Denmark's surprise package William Kryger-Christian Faust in the final on Sunday (May 18).

It will be the 2022 world champions' first final in the World Tour since they won the Korean Masters last November.
