PETALING JAYA: World No. 85 pair Low Hang Yee-Ng Eng Cheong pulled off one of the biggest upsets at the Swiss Open when they sent world No. 12 Marcus Ellis-Chris Landgridge of England packing in the last 16 Thursday (March 4).

Hang Yee-Eng Cheong fought from one game down to beat the Rio Olympics bronze medallists 10-21,21-15,21-15 in 72 minutes to reach their first-ever World Tour quarter-finals.

"Having marched this far, we want to keep this good momentum going. We have another big test coming, but as long as we keep our spirits high and fight without fear, anything is possible."The world No. 9 and top seeds Aaron-Wooi Yik did not even have to lift their rackets as they were given a walkover by Denmark's Jeppe Bay-Lasse Molhede.

Rio Olympics silver medallists V Shem-Wee Kiong failed to justify their third seeding after going down 19-21,19-21 to Germany's Marvin Seidel-Mark Lamsfuss.
