KUALA LUMPUR: While national top men's pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik faded away, Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun stepped up to reach the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open for their season-best result.

A day after slaying world champions Kang Min Hyuk-Seo Seung Jae, world No. 20 Wei Chong-Kai Wun marched on when they ousted Denmark's world No. 15 Rasmus Kjaer-Frederik Sogaard 21-18, 19-21, 21-12.

It would have been an all-Malaysian clash in the last eight on Friday had Aaron-Wooi Yik won their last-16 match against Yang Po Han-Lu Ching Yao.
