Can Pang Ron-Su Yin redeem themselves in Xiamen?
KUALA LUMPUR: Mixed doubles Hoo Pang Ron-Cheng Su Yin have admitted to being "too predictable" in their play on the World Tour.
And this has led to a lack of good results.
However, they believe that this will not affect them much in the Sudirman Cup in Xiamen, China, beginning on Sunday.
The world No. 14 are one of Malaysia's three mixed doubles — the others being world No. 3 Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai and world No. 4 Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei — for the Sudirman Cup despite their poor results on the tour.
Though Pang Ron-Su Yin surprised the field to finish runners-up in the China Masters in November, their performance has dipped since then.
There is a possibility they may be fielded against France in the opening tie on Monday or against Australia on April 29.
"We need to solve some problems in our play. We are trying to add more variety into our game and also improve our mental strength," said Pang Ron.
"Since reaching the final of the China Masters, more rivals have focused on beating us. We cannot remain predictable as this will make it difficult for us to progress.
"However, I don't think this will affect us in team events like the Sudirman Cup."
Pang Ron also dismissed the possibility of him and Su Yin going separate ways following their underwhelming results.
"We have been communicating with each other and also our coaches to find a solution," added Pang Ron.

Sze Fei-Izzuddin in danger of losing world No. 1 ranking
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 1 Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani must regain their edge quickly ahead of next month's Japan Open (July 15-20) and China Open (July 22-27), or risk losing their top spot. The independent pair captured both titles last year and must now defend their points to stay at the summit. Since lifting the India Open in January, Sze Fei-Izzuddin have struggled to maintain momentum, failing to add another title to their World Tour campaign. They have reached the quarter-finals in each of their last four tournaments. The Japan Open is a Super 750 event offering 11,000 points to the winners, while the China Open is a prestigious Super 1000 tournament, with 13,500 points up for grabs. Former national player Datuk James Selvaraj believes the pair must rediscover the focus that powered their rise following their departure from the BA of Malaysia last year. "They need to recapture the form and focus they showed after leaving BAM," James told Timesport on Sunday. "That's their main problem now. They've got time to fine-tune their game before Japan and China, and they must make it count. "Getting to world No. 1 is tough, but staying there takes even more effort. You don't want to be top one week and drop to No. 2 or 3 the next." Sze Fei-Izzuddin currently hold 91,090 points, but are being chased down by compatriots and former world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, who moved up to No. 2 this week with 89,870 points — just 1,220 behind. Aaron-Wooi Yik, also the reigning Asian champions, will be gunning to leapfrog their rivals and claim the world No. 1 ranking for the first time along with bragging rights as Malaysia's top men's doubles pair.

Pang Ron pleads to stay with injured partner Su Yin
KUALA LUMPUR: Mixed doubles shuttler Hoo Pang Ron believes he and partner Cheng Su Yin should stick together but says the final decision lies with the national coaches. The world No. 13 have struggled with both form and fitness in recent months, with Su Yin sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained at the Thailand Open last month. The injury forced them to withdraw from three major tournaments — the Malaysia Masters, Singapore Open and Indonesia Open. However, their dip in form began even before Su Yin's setback. Featured Videos Since reaching the final of the China Masters last November — their career-best showing — Pang Ron-Su Yin have suffered five first-round exits in nine tournaments this year. Their best performances this year were quarter-final finishes at the Orleans Masters and Indonesia Masters. "I don't think we should split," said Pang Ron. "But of course, if the coaches or management feel it's necessary to make changes, then who knows." The 27-year-old admitted he's been disappointed with their performances since their breakthrough in China. "Our level dropped after the China Masters. Maybe other pairs have started to analyse and figure out our game." For now, Pang Ron says Su Yin's recovery remains the top priority, with their participation in the Japan Open (July 15-20) still up in the air. "She's coming back slowly. We're not rushing things because it could worsen the injury. We're taking it step by step. Nothing is confirmed yet," he said. More than just tactics, Pang Ron believes a mental reset is vital to bounce back. "The most important thing is our mindset. We've made a final before, but since then, we've had too many early exits. "Maybe it's time to start from scratch." He added that they're actively working with the coaching team to improve. "We're discussing how to get better. We need more variation in our gameplay as just doing the same things isn't enough." Despite the setbacks, Pang Ron views the break as a much-needed chance to regroup. "This could be a blessing in disguise. We hadn't been winning for a while, and mentally we were down. Hopefully, this time off helps us reset and come back stronger."

Pearly-Thinaah's ‘undies on the outside ala superman' tournament apparel invites ridicule
TOP national women's doubles pair of Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan needs no introduction for their court exploits. On May 18, the duo was crowned the Toyota Thailand Open 2025 champion to become the first Malaysian women's pair to win the 41-year-old event. They came close for close to their second title this year at the Kapal Api Indonesia Open 2025 only to lose out in the final to China's world's No.1 of Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning in rubber set 25-23, 12-21, 19-21 on June 8. However, a recent social media post chose to highlight the pair's somewhat bizarre on-court outfits. Facebooker Rinny Ryn Yong has likened the pair's skirt as looking like 'a boy's boxer shorts with a sweat towel tucked behind'! Her light-hearted observation drew a lot of comments with many thinking they were the only ones who thought the sports attire looked weird. But alas, many out there shared the same observation. Quite a few were left wondering why the famed shuttlers were wearing their undies on the outside – ala superman – or in this case 'Malaysian superwomen'. Many did highlight that it was the fault of the kit designers rather than the pair per se. The duo who is currently ranked third best women's doubles pairing in the world were said to have little choice in the matter as the outfit is largely dictated by the Badminton Association of Malaysia's (BAM) sponsors. One netizen though wondered how such design could be approved by the BAM which is the sport's governing body in Malaysia. Quite a few though did see the funny side, claiming it was designed to purposely confuse the opponents. One went on to label it as a clever 'deceptive strategy'. All said and done, Pearly-Thinaah are no chumps. As reported in the New Straits Times, they have already pocketed RM614,511 from the World Tour in 1H 2025 alone. They earned the hundreds of thousands from 10 tournaments with the biggest purse coming from the Indonesia Open where they took home US$50,750 (RM214,670; runners-up). Earlier in the year, they earned RM158,689 for their Thailand Open triumph. Their other winnings came from the Indonesia Masters 2025 (RM76,368; runners-up) and India Open 2025 (RM56,275; semi-finalist). Pearly-Thinaah will resume their hunt for more honours and money at the Daihatsu Japan Open 2025 from July 15-20 which offers RM265,782 for the women's doubles top prize. Let us all wish them luck while at the same time hope they have snazzier uniforms this time. But as one netizen pointed out, whatever uniform they may be wearing, the important thing is their form on the court. – June 14, 2025
