PETALING JAYA: The national men’s doubles pair of Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik made it into their first quarter-final of the year at the Indonesian Masters – but they can hardly crack a smile.
The world No. 9 will be up against their compatriots for the second straight week, and this time it’s new independents Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi.
“It’s going to be awkward. Just a few weeks ago we were teammates, but we are going to face them as professionals tomorrow,” said Aaron. “But that’s how the draw is, and there’s nothing we can do. May the best pair win and continue to fly Malaysia’s flag high in the tournament.” said Aaron who with Wooi Yik beat V Shem-Wee Kiong in the first round of the Malaysian Masters last week.
In the mixed doubles competition, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying and Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing continued their fine run but it was the end of the road for Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie.
