PETALING JAYA: Malaysia’s last pair standing at the Japan Masters are through to the semi-finals after Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King upset Taiwan’s Lee Jhe-huei-Yang Po-hsuan on Friday (Nov 13).
The world No. 57 Malaysians took just 28 minutes to beat the world No. 15 pair 21-16, 21-12 in the men’s doubles quarter-finals at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium.
They will face either Denmark’s Daniel Lundgaard-Mads Vestergaard or Japan’s Hiroki Okamura-Kyohei Yamashita on Saturday for a shot at a second final in just five tournaments together.
The Malaysians won the Arctic Open on their debut as a pair last month.
