Azriyn-Wee Kiong stun Popov brothers at Japan Open

KUALA LUMPUR: Independent pair Nur Azriyn Ayub-Tan Wee Kiong pulled off a gritty upset to reach the second round of the Japan Open on Tuesday. The world No. 26 staged a remarkable comeback to topple the world No. 18 Popov brothers, Christo and Toma Junior of France, 13-21, 21-17, 21-19 in a pulsating first-round clash at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Azriyn-Wee Kiong once again proved their affinity for Japanese soil after having reached the semi-finals of the Kumamoto Masters in Japan last November. The veteran pair are now likely to face Danish fourth seeds Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen in the last 16 — a daunting test, but one they will relish following the spirited win. Meanwhile, world No. 42 Carmen Ting-Ong Xin Yee showed plenty of promise before bowing out 17-21, 21-8, 21-8 to Japan's world No. 6 Rin Iwanaga-Kie Nakanishi.
