Aaron-Wooi Yik switch to Super 1000 target [WATCH]
KUALA LUMPUR: After missing out on a fabulous hat-trick of titles, men's pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik want to make up for it by winning a major event — a Super 1000 title. The world No. 3 failed to complete a career hat-trick after they were upstaged 21-12, 15-21, 21-16 by world No. 8 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun in an all-local final of the Malaysia Masters at Axiata Arena today. After having won the Asian Championships last month and the Super 500 Thailand Open last week, Aaron-Wooi Yik targeted an unprecedented hat-trick today. But alas, the Olympic bronze medallists and former world champions could only watch national teammates Wei Chong-Kai Wun tore up the script. Now, Aaron-Wooi Yik have set their sights on a new objective — winning their maiden Super 1000 title on the World Tour soon. They have won the Super 750 Denmark Open, Super 300 Korea Masters and Super 500 Thailand Open. But a Super 1000 is missing from their collection. Wooi Yik feels that with the help of new national men's doubles head coach Herry IP, they should aim for a Super 1000 title, the highest level on the World Tour. "It's about time (to win a Super 1000 title) but we have to train hard everyday," said Wooi Yik. "Our new coach, Herry, has given us many opportunities to learn and move to another level." The Indonesia Open on June 3-8 is one of the four Super 1000 events on the World Tour. The others are the Malaysia Open, All England (held in January and March respectively) and the China Open which will be held on Sept 16-21.
