Yew Sin-Ee Yi stun China's Weikeng-Wang Chang to reach Japan Open semis


PETALING JAYA: Men's doubles shuttlers Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi continued their sensational run in the Japan Open by toppling China's top pair Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang to book their spot in the semi-finals.

Yew Sin, who wed Japan's former women's singles star Aya Ohori last week, seems to be inspired by the latter as he and Ee Yi played superbly to edge world No. 6 Weikeng-Wang Chang 25-23, 21-19 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium on Friday (July 18).
