KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 (Bernama) — National men’s doubles aces Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik kept Malaysia’s campaign alive at the French Open 2025 after battling past Indonesia’s Sabar Karyaman Gutama and Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani in a thrilling quarterfinal clash early these morning (Malaysian time).
The world number two duo fought tooth and nail to secure a 21-19, 16-21, 21-19 victory to advance into the semifinals, where they will face another Indonesian pair Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri for a place in the final at Glaz Arena.
However, based on their head-to-head record, the pair had previously defeated Aaron and Wooi Yik in their meeting at the China Open in July.
Meanwhile, another Malaysian men’s doubles duo Man Wei Chong -Tee Kai Wun put up a brave fight before losing 21-18, 14-21, 10-21 to world number one, Kim Won Ho-Seo Seung Jae of South Korea.
Goh Sze Fei and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani also saw their campaign fizzled out after being defeated by Denmark’s Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, 14-21, 21-17 and 23-25.
In the women’s doubles, Pearly Tan- M. Thinaah fell 16-21, 16-21 to Chen Qing Chen-Jia Yi Fan of China.
