PETALING JAYA: There was no seventh final of the year for men’s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik at the French Open, but the pair still had something to smile about after confirming their spot in the season-ending World Tour Finals.

The former world champions Aaron-Wooi Yik fell 14-21, 19-21 to Indonesia’s rising duo Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri in the semi-finals at the Glaz Arena in Cesson Sevigne on Saturday.
