However, the first real test they face will be in the quarter-finals in the form of world No. 8 Satwiksairaj Rankireddy-Chirag Shetty.

Doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky was pleased with the draw and felt they should go far in the tournament.

Rexy said Aaron-Wooi Yik’s is well prepared for the Denmark Open. The draw looks favorable to them, and they feel confident they can go far in the tournament.

The pair have not taken an Open title even with their world title win. Other pairs going for the title include Japan’s world No. 1 Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi, Indonesia’s world No. 4 Mohd Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan, and world No. 6 Fajar Alfian-Rian Ardianto.
