PETALING JAYA: For men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh and Soh Wooi Yik, nothing drives them more than finally conquering the All-England title after eight appearances. Twice they have come agonisingly close, only to fall short at the final hurdle, and this year, the hunger to end Malaysia’s long wait for a men’s doubles crown burns brighter than ever. Seeded second, Aaron-Wooi Yik open their campaign against Americans Chen Zhi Yi-Presley Smith, with a field stacked with other potential hurdles. Malaysia has seven other men’s doubles pairs in the fray, keeping hopes high for a deep run. Aaron Tai-Kang Khai Xing, making their debut, face a daunting test against fourth seeds Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty of India.
