PETALING JAYA: Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik will need to be wary when they face South Korea’s Kang Min-hyuk-Ki Dong-ju in the quarter-finals of the Asian Championships today.

Although it will be their first meeting, the world No. 22 pair come in with momentum after upsetting Aaron-Wooi Yik’s regular rivals Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi 21-18, 18-21, 21-11 in the second round yesterday.
