Can Herry keep Malaysian shuttlers in the hunt?
The national pairs, led by world No. 2 Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, have even surpassed the Indonesian coach's expectations by winning four title since his arrival in February.
Aaron-Wooi Yik won the Asian Championships, Thailand and Singapore Opens; Wei Chong-Kai Wun won the Malaysia Masters.
But Herry is wary of the threat from the rivals when his shuttlers return to competition at the Japan (July 15-20) and China (July 22-27) Opens.
"The second half of the season will be extremely challenging as it is tougher to maintain a high level performance than winning titles," said Herry.
"The rivals would be doing their homework, studying the strengths and weaknesses of our pairs.
"In a way, the five-week break from tournaments is a blessing in disguise. The players can improve their physical condition and also be tactically ready when they return to competition."

Arif-Roy King learning to play Fire Dragon's way
KUALA LUMPUR: Men's doubles Arif Junaidi-Yap Roy King are starting to adapt to coach Herry IP's intricate playing philosophy, says national doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky. Rexy admitted the transition has been far from smooth for the world No. 24 since the Indonesian coach, fondly known as the Fire Dragon joined the national set-up in February. "Arif-Roy King were struggling to grasp Herry's detailed tactical style at first. It felt forced at times, especially for Arif, who seemed to lose his identity on court," said Rexy. "He didn't quite understand what kind of game he should be playing, which led to mistakes and a lack of direction." Despite early exits in four of the seven tournaments they've played under Herry, the pair showed glimpses of progress by reaching two quarter-finals and one semi-final. Rexy pointed to their second-round loss at last month's Indonesia Open, where they pushed world No. 7 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun to three games as a turning point. "They looked more composed and are slowly regaining confidence," he said. Meanwhile, another national pair, Haikal Nazri-Choong Hon Jian, are still searching for consistency following injury layoffs. Rexy said the world No. 47 returned to action too soon at high-level tournaments, which made it difficult to regain form. "They came back from injury - first Hon Jian, then Haikal - and immediately played in Super 500, 750 and 1000 tournaments. It was extremely tough," he said. "We considered pulling them out of events after the Indonesia Open to focus on training, but they've already missed several tournaments. Sitting out again could slow their progress even more." Rexy believes Haikal, in particular, has lost his usual aggressive spark, a key element of his playing style. "He's not like Arif, who is calm and steady. Haikal needs to play with aggression, that's what gives him confidence," said Rexy. "I reminded him not to lose that edge. It's part of his identity. After being out for almost six months, it's natural to struggle." Rexy cited former world No. 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei as an example of even the best needing time to rediscover form after a long layoff. "Even Chong Wei needed time after six months away. Haikal-Hon Jian were climbing, then dropped. Now it's about giving them space to rebuild slowly," he added. Both pairs are currently preparing for the Super 750 Japan Open (July 15-20) and the Super 1000 China Open (July 22-27).

Wan Arif-Roy King confused by Herry's philosophy
NATIONAL men's doubles pair Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King are facing confusion in adapting to the philosophy introduced by head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi, according to National Doubles Coaching Director Rexy Mainaky. Rexy said the confusion has caused Wan Arif-Roy King to lose their direction, resulting in numerous mistakes during their matches on court. 'They seem to be forcing themselves to play according to the philosophy introduced (by Herry). I have already discussed with them, especially Wan Arif who is confused and appears to have lost his way. 'However, we've started to see some results in the last tournament at the Indonesia Open where they managed to play three sets against their teammates Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun. We hope they'll be more confident in upcoming tournaments,' he said when met during a training session here yesterday. Although they led 21-14 in the first set, Wan Arif-Roy King failed to contain the comeback from Wei Chong-Kai Wun and lost 11-21, 15-21, thus exiting in the second round of the 2025 Indonesia Open last month. Since being guided by Herry, who began his stint with the Badminton Association of Malaysia in February, the world No. 24 pair have only managed to reach one semi-final, which was at the Orleans Masters in France last March, out of eight tournaments entered. This situation is clearly different from two other national pairs — 2022 world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Wei Chong-Kai Wun — who have shown a positive impact under Herry's guidance. Aaron-Wooi Yik have excelled this year by winning three titles — the 2025 Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, China, the 2025 Thailand Open, and the 2025 Singapore Open — while Wei Chong-Kai Wun claimed the 2025 Indonesia Masters and 2025 Malaysia Masters titles. Meanwhile, Rexy revealed that national men's doubles player Muhammad Haikal Nazri has not been as aggressive as before and has lost self-confidence after returning from a thigh muscle injury sustained during training last December. The situation forced Muhammad Haikal and his partner Choong Hon Jian to miss several major tournaments including the 2025 Malaysia Open last January, and their world ranking has now dropped to 47th. Although they returned to action last May, Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal have failed to shine, exiting early in all five tournaments they have participated in this year. Despite acknowledging the difficult period faced by Hon Jian-Muhammad Haikal, the Indonesian doubles specialist hopes both players will use the current break to regain momentum for their next outing at the 2025 Japan Open from July 15-20.

Eogene, Ling Ching fall short in Canada Open quarter-finals
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's campaign at the Canada Open came to an end on Friday after both Eogene Ewe and Wong Ling Ching bowed out in the quarter-finals of the Super 300 tournament in Markham, Ontario. Eogene, the world No. 98, fell 21-6, 11-21, 21-9 to Canada's world No. 72 Victor Lai in the men's singles. While a last-eight finish remains a commendable feat - his first at a Super 300 tournament - it was still a missed opportunity for the 20-year-old Eogene, especially after receiving a walkover in the first round from Japan's world No. 40 Takuma Obayashi. Victor is from the same generation as Eogene, and the Malaysian would have fancied his chances of progressing further into the tournament and picking up invaluable world ranking points. Ling Ching, meanwhile, pushed Vietnam's second seed Nguyen Thuy Linh to the limit before going down 17-21, 22-20, 21-15 in a hard-fought encounter that lasted 66 minutes. The 20-year-old, who had stunned fourth seed Line Christophersen of Denmark earlier in the tournament, can still take pride in reaching the quarter-finals of a Super 300 event for only the second time in her career. Thuy Linh, the world No. 22, is widely regarded as Vietnam's top women's player since former men's world No. 5 Nguyen Tien Minh. A three-time Vietnam Open champion, the 27-year-old has been in fine form this year, making the quarter-finals of both the Malaysia Masters and Indonesia Masters, and finishing runner-up at the German Open in 2025 and 2025.
