PETALING JAYA: Taking on the reigning Olympic champions in their own backyard in a final will be daunting for anyone but Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun are unfazed by the huge task today.
KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 24): Malaysian National No 1 men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik gave a spirited performance before losing to World No 7 Lee Yang-Wang Chi Lin in the Toyota Thailand Open final today.
The World No 9 were defeated by the sixth seeded Taiwanese pair 13-21, 18-21 in a 36-minute battle at the Impact Arena in Bangkok. We were pressured by them from the start. They were stronger than us so it was harder for us to find our attacking play. In the second game, we were more aggressive.
“But, our opponents played really well, they pushed us and forced us into making errors,” Wooi Yik was quoted as saying on the Badminton World Federation (BWF) website at www.bwfbadminton.com.
