PETALING JAYA: Independent men’s doubles pair Chia Wei Jie-Teo Ee Yi pulled off the biggest upset on the opening day of the Korean Open on Tuesday (Nov 3) by knocking out China’s world No. 11 Chen Boyang-Liu Yi.
Wei Jie-Ee Yi needed just 34 minutes to send the fourth seeds packing 21-14, 21-19 in their first-round match at the Jinnam Stadium in Yeosu.
Also through to the second round were Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun, who overcame fellow Malaysians Low Hang Yee-Ng Eng Cheong.
Wei Chong-Kai Wun had to work much harder, recovering from a poor opening game to win 12-21, 21-8, 21-12 in 38 minutes.
