Aaron Tai and Kang Khai Xing, one of eight Malaysian pairs in the men’s doubles draw – and the lowest-ranked of the eight – scored big at their first YONEX All England, taking down No.4 seeds Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty in straight games.
The 2024 world junior champions survived a close first game before easing through in the second, 23-21 21-12, in one of the big upsets of the first round.
“I'm very happy we were able to win the match because this is our first All England. So we just tried to enjoy it,” said Kang.
