PETALING JAYA: Former world champions Aaron Chia–Soh Wooi Yik were unable to deliver a win for Malaysia after bowing out in the Singapore Open quarter-finals on Friday (May 29).
The world No. 2 pair lost 15-21, 15-21 to China’s world No. 5 duo Liang Weikeng–Wang Chang at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
It was the Malaysians’ 11th defeat in 14 meetings against the Chinese pair.
