Aaron-Wooi Yik stage comeback to storm into S'pore Open final
World No 3 pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik defeated their opponents from India 19-21, 21-10, 21-18 in 63 minutes. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Reigning Asian men's doubles champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik came from a game down to defeat India's Chirag Shetty-Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and enter the Singapore Open final. The world No 3 Malaysian pair won 19-21, 21-10, 21-18 in 63 minutes to overcome the gritty Indian duo, who were previously ranked No 1 but dropped to No 27 after skipping multiple tournaments due to injuries. Tonight's win keeps alive Aaron-Wooi Yik's hopes of clinching a third title this year after achieving their ninth victory over the Indian pair in 12 encounters so far. In the final tomorrow, the two-time Olympic bronze medallists will meet the world No 10 South Korean pair of Seo Seung Jae-Kim Won Ho who saw off Denmark's Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in the other semi-final match. Aaron-Wooi Yik have met the South Korean pair only once, at the India Open in January where the Malaysians lost in the semi-final. Tomorrow's match will be the Malaysian pair's third consecutive final in the World Tour series. Aaron-Wooi Yik will be hoping to create a personal record of winning three tournaments in a year, after capturing the Badminton Asia Championship title in April and Thailand Open crown two weeks ago. At the Malaysian Masters last week, the duo lost in the final to compatriots Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun.
