‘We thrive under pressure’, say Aaron-Wooi Yik after Shenzhen victory

Men’s doubles ace Aaron Chia believes he and Soh Wooi Yik can thrive under pressure in their final push to qualify for the World Tour Finals.

Aaron-Wooi Yik kept their hopes alive for the lucrative US$2.5 million showpiece in Hangzhou next month by advancing to the second round of the Super 750 China Masters in Shenzhen on Tuesday.

The world No. 5 delivered a solid performance to overcome Indonesia’s in-form combination of Shobihul Fikri-Daniel Marthin 21-12, 21-18.

Shobihul-Daniel have been impressive since forming their partnership after parting ways with Bagas Maulana and Leo Rolly Carnando respectively following the Paris Olympics.
