PETALING JAYA: The mantle may one day pass from Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik to Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun and the young pair gave a glimpse of that future with their spirited World Championships performance.

They played like seasoned pro by holding South Korea's world No. 1 Seo Seung-jae-Kim Won-ho by the jugular before going down fighting 21-23, 23-21, 15-21 in the men's doubles quarter-finals at the Adidas Arena in Port de la Chapelle in Paris on Friday.
