The rising teenage stars score an easy 21-9, 21-18 win over a home pair in just 26 minutes.
The rising Malaysian duo, both teenagers, have been making their mark in recent international tournaments.
They took just 26 minutes to sweep aside Australia’s Jazmine Lam-Lim Yee Yuan in straight games, 21-9, 21-18 at the Quaycentre Arena in Sydney today.
In the last-eight match tomorrow, the 84th-ranked Malaysians will take on either Ukranian pair Polina Buhrova-Yevheniia Kantemyr or Fabriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Meilysa Trias Puspita Sari from Indonesia.
Noraqilah-Zi Yu could achieve their career best if they manage to enter the semi-finals of the World Tour Super 500 championship.
However, Malaysia suffered two setbacks when women’s singles hopeful Wong Ling Ching and men’s doubles pair Chia Wei Jie-Teo Ee Yi went down to Taiwanese shuttlers in the second round.
Ling Ching, who is ranked 34th, went down to 31st-ranked Huang Yu Hsun 18-21, 19-21 in 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, the new pair of Wei Jie-Ee Yi were defeated by Taiwan’s Chen Cheng Kuan-Liu Kuang Heng 21-13, 18-21, 17-21.
With this, only men’s singles player Justin Hoh and Noraqilah-Zi Yu will feature in the quarter-finals tomorrow. - FMT
