PETALING JAYA: Doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik are in the All-England final again and this time, they plan to go all the way.
On Saturday, the former world champions Aaron-Wooi Yik showed their class again to beat Lee Jhe-huei-Yang Po-hsuan of Taiwan 21-16, 21-15 in a 39-minute semi-final match to set up a meeting against defending champions Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto of Indonesia.
Fajar-Rian were also in their element as they outpaced Takuro Hoki-Yugo Koyabashi of Japan with a superb 21-18, 21-18 win.
Malaysia have not won an All-England men’s doubles title since Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong’s feat at the 2007 edition.
Aaron-Wooi Yik reached the final of the 2019 edition but lost to veterans Hendra Setiawan-Mohamad Ahsan.
Indonesia have assured the men’s singles title – a first in 30 years – after Jonatan Christie set up a final match-up against teammate Anthony Ginting.
Hariyanto Arbi was the last Indonesian to win the singles title at the 1994 edition.
