It was triple blow for Malaysia as all their remaining doubles pairs at the Badminton Asia Championships were shown the exit in the quarter-finals in Jianbei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Women\u2019s doubles second seeds Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan, bowed out tamely 13-21, 15-21 to eighth seeded Li Yijing-Luo Ximin of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, the men\u2019s doubles second seeds ran out of steam in their 93-minute battle with the unseeded Korean duo of Kang Min Hyuk-Ki Dong-ju. The Koreans battled past the Malaysians 21-19, 28-26, 21-13 to move into the semi-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also out is reigning mixed doubles world champions Cheng Tan Jie-Toh Ee Wei. Unseeded Korean duo Kim Jae-hyeon-Jang Ha-jeong carved out an impressive 21-19, 21-17 win over the third seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the defeats, Malaysia will go empty handed from the regional championships and questions raised on the squad\u2019s readiness for the Thomas and Uber Cup tournaments later this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unseeded US Open champion Ayush Shetty of India will be the only unseeded player in the men\u2019s singles semi-finals. The upcoming lad upset third seeded Jonatan Christie of Indonesia to book a semi-final clash against top seeded Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other semi-finals will see second seed Shi Yuqi taking on Taiwanese Chou Tien-chen, who disposed of former world champion Loh Kean Yew of Singapore 16-21, 21-12, 21-17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There will also be an unseeded player in the women\u2019s singles last four. Unheralded Sim Yu-jin of Korea defeated Japanese veteran and former world champion Nozomi Okuhara 21-18, 21-11 in her quarter-final tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yu-jin faces an uphill task against top seed An Se-young in the semi-finals, Se-young seeking her first Asian crown defeated Japan\u2019s Tomoka Miyazaki 21-16, 21-10 in her last eight match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other semi-finals will pit China\u2019s Wang Zhiyi against Japan\u2019s fourth seed Akane Yamaguchi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zhiyi, had defeated Se-young for the All-England title last month and showed her intent at the championships with a polished 21-13, 21-15 win over Japan\u2019s Riko Gunji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
