Herry hits back at critics after reshuffle pays off
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s men’s doubles head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi has hit back at his critics, with his much-debated reshuffle experiments beginning to deliver results following a string of successes on the international circuit.
Malaysia's men's doubles head coach, Herry Iman Pierngadi, has defended his controversial reshuffle, claiming that recent successes on the international stage show it was justified. World No. 74 Aaron Tai-Yap Roy King and world No. 8 Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun have both secured victories at major tournaments, bolstering Herry's decision to experiment with new doubles pairings.
Earlier, Kai Wun had claimed the Super 300 Korea Masters, offering an early indication of the reshuffle's potential. Despite facing criticism, Herry emphasized that the experiments were only temporary and intended to benefit the players. "We never said we were separating them permanently," he explained. He also acknowledged that Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik had every right to request the coaching team to reunite them, given their commendable performances at the World Championships and the Denmark Open.
Herry hopes that Aaron-Wooi Yik and Wei Chong-Kai Wun will remain together permanently, while Aaron-Roy King will continue their pursuit of success in the upcoming Hylo Open in Saarbrücken.
