The all-Malaysian tie at the World Tour Super 750 event guarantees a quarter-final place for the country. Another is assured from the second-round meeting between Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King, also scheduled for today.
Two wins set up Malaysian clash
Sze Fei-Izzuddin took 27 minutes to beat compatriots Nur Azriyn Ayub-Tan Wee Kiong 21-14, 21-11. Their straight-games win put them on course for a meeting with Wei Jie-Ee Yi.
Wei Jie-Ee Yi produced an upset at the SJF Bank Arena in Odense, Denmark. Ranked 58th, they defeated the world No 32 Taiwanese pair Chen Zhi Ray-Lin Yu Chieh 21-16, 21-15 in 30 minutes.
The result gives Malaysia two second-round men’s doubles matches between compatriots. Each will send one pair through to the quarter-finals, although both ties must still be played.
