One man’s fortune turned into disappointment for another at the TOTAL BWF World Championships 2018 when injury forced Wong Wing Ki to quit the match against Ygor Coelho. This gave the 21-year-old Brazilian an opportunity to advance to the second round and face HS Prannoy for a spot in the third round.
