Aaron-Wooi Yik power into China Open final


PETALING JAYA: Men's doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik continued their fine run in the China Open by smashing into the final.

Aaron-Wooi Yik played brilliantly to beat India's 2022 Asian Games gold medallists Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty 21-13, 21-17 in the last four at the Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium in Changzhou on Saturday (July 26).

The world No. 2 pair now have an opportunity to capture their first World Tour Super 1000 title when they take on Indonesia's scratch pair Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri in the title match on Sunday (July 27).

Fajar-Shohibul were also on top form when they pulled off a stunning 21-19, 21-17 win over home favourites and Paris Olympics silver medallists Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang in the other semi-final match.
