The win over the Indonesians, dubbed 'The Daddies', has made Aaron-Wooi Yik the first ever Malaysian shuttlers to be crowned world champions.

In their three previous outings at the world meet, world number six Aaron-Wooi Yik had only gone as far as the quarter-finals, at the 2018 edition in Nanjing, China.


The Tokyo 2020 Olympics bronze medallists were also the first Malaysian pair to enter the final in 12 years, after Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong did it in the 2010 edition in Paris.
