Aaron-Wooi Yik advanced to the last four, after defeating fifth seeds S. Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty of India 18-21, 21-18, 21-17 in the quarter-finals. The 2019 SEA Games champions had come close to winning titles by advancing to the finals in the 2018 SaarLorLux Open, 2019 Malaysia International, 2019 All England and 2020 Thailand Open, but the title dream remains elusive for them. Meanwhile, the future looks promising for Malaysia as men’s singles player Ng Tze Yong clinched the Belgian International title in Leuven. Speaking on the success, Tze Yong said the final looked easy for him because his tactical plan came good, besides being in good shape. I will try my best to win the next tournament,” said Sze Yong, who was the Czech Open runner-up last weekend.
