KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — National men’s doubles pair Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun must learn to be more calm when faced with pressure on the court, said Badminton Association of Malaysia doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky.
“I am happy with their result but there are many aspects to their game that still need to be improved on, especially about being cool under pressure. In the final at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium on Sunday, the sixth-seeded Wei Chong-Kai Wun defeated India’s eighth-seeded Krishna Garaga-Vishnuvardhan Panjala 21-18, 21-15 in 33 minutes.
However, Rexy admitted that he would also need to evaluate the inspiring performance put up by professional pair Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi after they reached the semi-finals of the 2021 World Championships in Huelva, Spain before deciding on who deserve to be named as the country’s third pair at the BATC 2022.
