KUALA LUMPUR: It was an easy day at the office for Malaysia’s top men’s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik. The world No. 2 pair booked their spot in the Malaysian Open second round after stream-rolling past United States’ Chen Zhi Yi-Presley Smith 21-11, 21-19 in 34 minutes at Axiata Arena on Wednesday (Jan 7). They will now face either China’s Chen Xujun-Liu Yang or Taiwan’s Liu Kuang-heng-Yang Po-han for a place in the quarter-finals.
