If Day 3 at VICTOR Denmark Open 2025 was about unexpected results – no fewer than seven seeded players or pairs fell – Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub Azriyn/Tan Wee Kiong took the cake by knocking out top-seeded men's doubles world champions Kim Won Ho/Seo Seung Jae.
Winning 21-19 21-14, the Malaysians are the last men's pair left standing for their country, with second seeds Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik and third seeds Goh Sze Fei/Nur Izzuddin already eliminated in the opening round.
The victory represents a seismic moment in the season given the Koreans' imperiousness all year. This is the world No.1s' earliest defeat on the HSBC BWF World Tour since restarting their partnership in January at the Malaysia Open.
