Aaron-Wooi Yik fail to defend world championship title

The pair were the only Malaysians to qualify for the semifinals of this year’s BWF World Championship.

Soh Wooi Yik and Aaron Chia suffered a straight-set defeat to South Korea’s Kang Min-hyuk and Seo Seung-jae in the semifinals of the 2023 BWF World Championship.

In the first set, the fourth-seeded Malaysians not only squandered their early four-point lead but failed to break away from their opponents, as the South Koreans continued to match their points three times before snatching two consecutive points for the win. World No 4 Aaron-Wooi Yik, the only Malaysian representative to have made it to the semifinals of this year’s championship, will have to be satisfied with the bronze as Kang-Seo advanced to the final against home pair Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup, who beat third seeds Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang of China 17-21, 21-18, 21-19 in the other semifinal match.
