KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 19 \u2013 National men\u2019s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik today advanced to the Indonesia Masters semi-finals in style by ousting Tokyo Olympic champions Lee Yang-Wang Chai-Lin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Olympic bronze medallists, seeded fifth, were calm to execute their game plan to defeat the world number three pair from Taiwan in straight games of 21-13, 21-15 in 31 minutes at the Bali International Convention Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the world number seven pair\u2019s first win against the Taiwanese in four meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron-Wooi Yik will face Japan\u2019s Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi, who eliminated Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen of Denmark 19-21, 21-14, 21-19, in the last four tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron said the win had given them a boost in their hunt for their first BWF World Tour title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think the way we played gave them a lot of pressure; we did not give easy points to them. And the shuttle today was a bit slow. We played slow shuttles in the Sudirman and Thomas Cup recently, so we are used to it,\u201d he told BWF Media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Wooi Yik, a good lesson learnt during their French Open semi-finals defeat to Ko Sung Hyun-Shin Baekcheol of South Korea helped them to keep their focus until the winning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think we focused on the match and didn\u2019t think of winning first when leading. We have learnt our lesson and it\u2019s good. Actually after a few tournaments like Sudirman, Thomas Cup (Denmark open, French Open), it\u2019s quite tiring. Luckily, we skipped the Hylo Open to do some conditioning,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, independent pair Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi also made into the semi-finals after ousting Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) pair Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Mohd Rumsani 21-13, 18-21, 21-18 in a thrilling match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, they will face an uphill task against world number two Marcus Fernaldi Gideon-Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo of Indonesia tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixed doubles pair Hoo Pang Ron-Cheah Yee See\u2019s campaign ended with heartbreak as the underdogs went down to world number two Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai of Thailand 17-21, 9-21 in a 34-minute match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country\u2019s challenge in the women\u2019s doubles also fizzled out as upcoming pair Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah lost 14-21, 15-21 to world number nine Nami Matsuyama-Chiharu Shida of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
