KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 — Malaysian world No. 4 pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik stunned the world’s top duo, Kim Won Ho-Seo Seung Jae of South Korea, to storm into the men’s doubles final at the Denmark Open Badminton Championships in Odense today.

Aaron-Wooi Yik stayed on course for their first BWF World Tour title with a straight-game 21-14, 21-18 victory over the world No. 1 South Koreans at the SJF Bank Arena.
