Rift brewing?: Aaron-Wooi Yik's World silver not enough to convince Herry

SEPANG: Aaron-Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, the world No. 4 doubles player, and his coach Herry Iman Pierngadi are reportedly at loggerheads over their future in Malaysia's national men's doubles squad. Following Aaron-Wooi Yik's impressive silver medal at the recent World Championships in New Delhi, he has openly admitted that they are considering leaving the national set-up if they are split permanently.

However, national coach Herry insists that the reshuffle is not a permanent decision but rather aimed at refreshing the squad's partnerships. Herry has praised Aaron-Wooi Yik's performance in New Delhi, stating that the pair's chemistry remains strong even after being tried with different partners. The coaching team is still assessing the pair's compatibility with other players before making a final decision by the end of the year.
