KUALA LUMPUR: Shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik made it a good day for Malaysia after powering into the Malaysian Masters semi-finals.
The Thailand Open champions continued their great form by smashing past Denmark’s Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard 21-10, 21-19 in 36 minutes at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil on Saturday (May 23).
World No. 3 Aaron-Wooi Yik did well to come back from 12-16 in the second game to snatch the win over the world No. 16 Danes.
The 2022 world champions joined another men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and women’s doubles duo Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah in the last four.
Standing in Aaron-Wooi Yik’s way to back-to-back finals will be another Danish pair, world No. 1 Kim Astrup-Anders Skarup Rasmussen, who are the defending champions.
