Tang Jie-Wen Tse aim better show in last stint at home meet
PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttlers Chen Tang Jie-Chan Wen Tse will get one more opportunity to shine together in the Malaysian Masters from May 20-25 at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil after a promising debut in the Taiwan Open.
Tang Jie-Wen Tse made it into the last four in Taipei before going down to Indonesia's eventual champions Jafar Hidayatullah-Felisha Pasaribu.
The pair will combine one last time in the home tourney before Tang Jie will reunite with Toh Ee Wei.
The 27-year-old will be keen to enjoy a memorable final outing with Wen Tse, 19, especially in front of the passionate home fans.
Tang Jie reached the semi-finals with Ee Wei in last year's edition before going down to fellow Malaysians Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie, who went on to lift the title.
Solid form: Loh Kean Yew beat Chou Tien-chen for the men's singles title.
Meanwhile, Singapore's 2021 world champion Loh Kean Yew captured the men's singles title in the Taiwan tourney after a hard fought 21-14, 15-21, 22-20 victory over home favourite Chou Tien-chen in Taipei yesterday.
It was Kean Yew's first title this year while Tien-chen narrowly missed out on winning his home event for the fifth time after emerging champion in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022.

Liu Ying says communication with coach key to overcoming crisis
KUALA LUMPUR: National mixed doubles pair Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei have been advised to continue to communicate openly with their coaches should they face any tension in their collaboration on the court. Former national mixed doubles player Goh Liu Ying said the world number four pair not only needs to communicate with each other, but should discuss more in depth with their coaches to ensure they are on the same track and goal. Their coach is Indonesian Nova Widanto. "Each player will see each other's weaknesses because each wants to improve," said Liu Ying. "There may be players who feel like using this tactic but their partner wants to use another strategy. I think that situation (doubles) is very common. "So, the role of the coach here is very important, they have to discuss so that they can achieve the same goal,' she said when met recently. In March, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were separated to give the coach room to try a new combination following tension in their relationship. Following that, the two of them got new partners, with Ee Wei pairing Loo Bing Kun while Tang Jie paired with Chan Wen Tse in the 2025 Taiwan Open as their first test. However, in April, BAM announced that Tang Jie-Ee Wei were paired again following a request from both players and the result of comprehensive discussions between the coaching team and the players. The 2025 Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China was the first stage for them to pair up again to successfully help the national squad advance to the quarter-finals. Liu Ying said that any disagreement that arose was a bittersweet moment that any pair had to go through and she also faced the same situation with his partner Chan Peng Soon once before. "We quarreled too much. All pairs quarrel but the purpose of the quarrel was the same because each wanted to win,' she said. Liu Ying and Peng Soon once made history by becoming the first mixed doubles representatives from the country to win a silver medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics. - Bernama

BAM boss inspires Justin and Co before US Open challenge
KUALA LUMPUR: Men's singles ace Justin Hoh and his compatriots received a timely morale boost from BA of Malaysia (BAM) president Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz ahead of the US Open, which starts on Tuesday in Iowa. Tengku Zafrul, who is also the Investment, Trade and Industry Minister, is currently on a working visit in Washington DC and took the opportunity to encourage the Malaysian contingent taking part in the Super 300 event. World No. 42 Justin will be joined at the US and Canada Opens (July 1-7) by men's singles Eogene Ewe (world No. 101) and women's singles K. Letshanaa (No. 50) and Wong Ling Ching (No. 99) — all making their debut appearances at both tournaments. Tengku Zafrul revealed via social media that fans had asked him to lend support to the BAM players competing in the United States. "I've received requests from fans to observe and support the BAM players who are competing at the US Open in Iowa," he posted on Instagram. "If it were nearby, I'd definitely be there to cheer them on, but the distance from Washington to Iowa is nearly 1,900km. "To Justin, Eogene, Letshanaa and Ling Ching — do your best and make us proud." Justin will be aiming to surpass his best result of the year — a quarter-final showing at the Taiwan Open — but faces stiff competition in Iowa. The tournament is headlined by world No. 6 Chou Tien Chen of Taiwan, the recent runner-up at the Super 1000 Indonesia Open. Justin is expected to clear the opening hurdle against world No. 61 Julien Carraggi of Belgium, but could face a tricky second-round tie against India's world No. 58 S. Sankar Muthusamy, followed by a potential quarter-final clash with world No. 12 Kenta Nishimoto of Japan. Eogene opens his campaign in the qualifying round against India's Darshan Pujari on Tuesday. In the women's singles, Letshanaa faces a tough first-round draw against 2017 world champion Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, while Ling Ching takes on American No. 110 Isabelle Rusli in the qualifying round.
