Malaysia’s rising men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun have secured a gritty victory to reach the China Open 2025 quarter-finals, surviving a tense all-Malaysian showdown against Nur Azriyn Ayub-Tan Wee Kiong.
It wasn’t an easy path for the younger duo, who had to dig deep after losing the first game. Facing off against the experienced Azriyn-Wee Kiong pairing, Wei Chong-Kai Wun held their nerve to turn the match around, clinching a 17-21, 21-17, 21-19 win in a 57-minute thriller.
This hard-fought triumph now sets up another mouth-watering all-Malaysian quarter-final clash, this time against Olympic bronze medalists Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik. With this, Malaysia is guaranteed a semi-final slot in the prestigious tournament.
