Yew Sin-Ee Yi suffer early exit in Macau
PETALING JAYA: Men's doubles shuttlers Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi's recent run of good results came to a halt after the pair crashed out of the Macau Open. Yew Sin-Ee Yi were hoping to continue their encouraging form after making it into the semi-finals and quarter-finals of the Japan Open and China Open respectively over the past two weeks but were left disappointed after narrowly going down 15-21, 21-16, 21-23 to Indonesia's Rahmat Hidayat-Yeremia Rambitan in the first round at the Macau East Asian Games Dome yesterday. It was also heartbreak for world junior champions Aaron Tai-Kang Khai Xing after the duo lost 17-21, 16-21 to another Indonesian pair and top seeds Sabar Gutama-Moh Reza. There were better fortunes though for Yap Roy King-Wan Arif Wan Junaidi when they defeated China's Ren Xiangyu-Sun Wenjun 21-15, 21-16. Meanwhile, in the women's doubles, Teoh Mei Xing-Go Pei Kee easily overcame India's Apoorva Gahlawat-Sakshi Gahlawat 21-8, 21-11 and will take on the winners of the all-Taiwanese clash between Lin Chih-chun-Lin Wan-ching and Chen Yu-hsuen-Liu Chiao-yun next. Ong Xin Yee-Carmen Ting, though, suffered an early exit after losing 13-21, 11-21 to Americans Lauren Lam-Allison Lee. Promising youngsters Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu also made a good start in their World Tour debut by making it into the main draw after beating Taiwan's Chou Yun-an-Huang Le Xin 21-17, 21-17 in the qualifying round. Dania-Zi Yu showed great resilience by bouncing back quickly after their disappointing quarter-final exit in the recent Asian Junior Championships in Solo, Indonesia. 'We are very excited to compete in our first World Tour competition,' said Dania. 'We never expected to qualify for this tournament as our rankings are still quite low. So, we are looking forward to playing against higher ranked pairs in the main draw.' Dania-Zi Yu are currently ranked 211th in the world and have a tougher task in the first round against Japan's world No. 63 Kaho Osawa-Mai Tanabe. Joining them in the main draw are Cheng Su Hui-Tan Zhing Yi, who had to dig deep to come away with a 21-14, 15-21, 21-15 win over Japan's Ririna Hiramoto-Kokona Ishikawa. Su Hui-Zhing Yi will next face Taiwan's Chen Su-yu-Hsieh Yi-en for a place in the quarter-finals. In the mixed doubles, Wee Yee Hern-Chan Wen Tse set-up an all-Malaysian first round clash against Loo Bing Kun-Pei Kee after coming out on top over Taiwan's Cheng Kai-wen-Liu Chiao-yun 21-8, 17-21, 21-17 in the qualifying round. RESULTS ( Malaysians Only ) Qualifying round Women's doubles: Dania Sofea Zaidi-Low Zi Yu bt Chou Yun-anHuang (Tpe) Le Xin 21-17, 21-17; Cheng Su Hui-Tan Zhing Yi bt Ririna Hiramoto-Kokona Ishikawa (Jpn) 21-14, 15-21, 21-15.

Yew Sin-Ee Yi ride wave of form into China Open quarter-finals
KUALA LUMPUR: Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi continued their remarkable resurgence by stunning Thailand's world No. 13 Kittinupong Kedren-Dechapol Puavaranukroh 21-16, 21-16 to reach the China Open quarter-finals on Thursday. The world No. 28, who just weeks ago were mired in a slump of seven consecutive first-round exits on the World Tour, have turned their fortunes around in spectacular fashion, starting with a surprise semi-final run at the Japan Open last week. That momentum carried over in Changzhou, with Yew Sin in particular riding a personal high after tying the knot with retired Japanese shuttler Aya Ohori. Their next test will be a stern one against India's former world No. 1 pair and reigning Asian Games champions, Chirag Shetty-Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, in the last eight.

Married life suits Yew Sin as he and Ee Yi advance in style in Changzhou
KUALA LUMPUR: Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi picked up where they left off with another strong performance to reach the second round of the China Open on Wednesday. The world No. 28, fresh off a surprise semi-final run at the Japan Open last week, looked sharp and composed as they cruised past China's Ren Xiang Yu-Sun Wen Jun 21-17, 21-14 in their opening round - their first-ever meeting with the home duo. It was a particularly sweet win for Yew Sin, who appears to be riding the high of personal happiness after tying the knot with retired Japanese shuttler Aya Ohori recently. The 30-year-old looks rejuvenated on court, with his on-court chemistry with Ee Yi back in full swing. With the confidence from Tokyo still flowing, Yew Sin-Ee Yi will now be aiming for another fine run in Changzhou as they look to break back into the higher rungs of the world rankings.

Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi started off their campaign at the Japan Open with a first- round win over fancied compatriots Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Giant-killers Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi continued their brilliant run at the Japan Open today by entering the semi-finals after a shock win over Chinese pair Liang Wei Keng-Wang Chang in straight games. Yew Sin-Ee Yi defeated the world's No 6 pair 25-23, 21-19 in a match lasting 41 minutes at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. The Malaysians, ranked 20 rungs below the Chinese, have now won twice in their five encounters so far. They will next meet South Korea's world No 3 pair Kim Won Ho-Seo Seung Jae, who defeated Malaysians Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun earlier. Yew Sin-Ee Yi started off their campaign at the Japan Open with a first-round win over fancied compatriots Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik. The pair have struggled since reaching the semi-finals of the Malaysia Open in January, and have suffered a dismal run of seven first-round exits in a row before the present tournament. It is also their first semi-final appearance in a World Tour Super 750 event. Their only World Tour title came at the Super 300 Australian Open in 2022. According to netizens, Yew Sin's recent marriage to former Japanese badminton star Aya Ohori is proving to be a lucky charm at the Japan Open.

It was the world No. 30 independent pair's second win over the Chinese duo in five meetings.
