The duo pulled off an impressive win over professionals and world No. 2 Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani 19-21, 21-7, 21-16 to march into the semi-finals at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil on Friday (May 23).

World No. 8 Wei Chong-Kai Wun were the underdogs in the quarter-final match but they staged a remarkable come-from-behind win to pull off one of the huge upsets in 45 minutes.
