PETALING JAYA: Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik let slip a golden opportunity to win their first World Tour Super 1000 title after losing to a scratch Indonesian pair at the China Open men’s doubles final.
The world No 2 pair’s hopes of hitting a career high were dashed by the unranked giant-killers Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri, losing 15-21, 14-21 in just 34 minutes.
The Indonesians played aggressively, giving Aaron-Wooi Yik little chance to come back after taking huge leads.
