Malaysian men's doubles pair Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik came close to winning their first-ever major title as they lost in the 2019 All England Open final on Sunday.
Despite having a good start, the world no. 18 duo were beaten by two-time world champions Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan 21-11, 14-21, 12-21.
