KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 9 (Bernama) -- The country’s top men’s doubles pair and the top seeds in the tournament, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, suffered a shocking exit at the Hong Kong Open 2025 Badminton Championship.
The top seeds suffered a first round defeat at the hands of unheralded English duo, Ben Lane-Sean Vendy today.
The top-seeded pair failed to perform at their best, losing 13-21, 13-21 in just 28 minutes in a match held at the Hong Kong Coliseum.
It was Aaron-Wooi Yik's second consecutive loss to the world number 15 pair, after the Arctic Open 2024.
Last month, Aaron-Wooi Yik were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the World Championships in Paris.
Another national doubles pair, Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi, also suffered the same fate, being eliminated from the tournament after losing to the Taiwanese duo, Lee Jhe-Huei-Yang Po-Hsuan 24-22, 20-22, 17-21.
