KUALA LUMPUR: National men's doubles pair Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King continued their impressive run by reaching the Kumamoto Masters semi-finals in Japan on Friday.
The world No. 57 Malaysians defeated Taiwan's world No. 15 Lee Jhe-Huei-Yang Po-Hsuan 21-16, 21-12 at the Kumamoto Prefectural Gymnasium.
It was their third semi-final appearance in five tournaments since joining forces last month, after winning the Arctic Open and reaching the last four at the Hylo Open in Germany.
Aaron-Roy King will face either Denmark's Daniel Lundgaard-Mads Vestergaard or Japan's Hiroki Okamura-Kyohei Ymashita on Saturday for a place in Sunday's final.
