Cancer survivor Chen an ideal role model for Aidil and other aspiring shuttlers
True fighter: Taiwan's Chou Tien-chen is the epitome of resilience and discipline. — AP PETALING JAYA: Taiwanese shuttler Chou Tien-chen is indeed an ideal role model for youngsters in Malaysia. The 35-year-old Tien-chen defied his age to reach the Indonesian Open final before going down 20-22, 14-21 to Denmark's Anders Antonsen at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta on Sunday. Independent singles coach Nova Armada believes that Tien-chen's never-say-die spirit should be an example to all shuttlers in Malaysia. Tien-chen, who does not have a coach, sometimes trains at Nova's training centre, Sports Affairs and this arrangement has also benefited the Indonesian's charge Aidil Sholeh Ali Sadikin, who gets the opportunity to spar with the Taiwanese. 'Tien-chen is very disciplined and mentally strong. 'He lost in the early rounds in the Malaysian Masters and Singapore Open (before the Indonesian Open) but refused to give up,' said Nova. 'He bounced back strongly and managed to perform well in the Indonesian Open despite his age. He is a great example to young players like Aidil. 'Aidil is only 25 and needs to emulate Tien-chen's spirit and mentality.' Tien-chen pulled off stunning wins over Thailand's world No. 1 Kunlavut Vitidsarn and China's world No. 4 Li Shifeng en route to the final in Indonesia. Tien-chen's performance was all the more remarkable as he was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2023. The world No. 7 fought to survive and continued playing badminton, enjoying a remarkable renaissance last year. Tien-chen captured the Arctic Open and Thailand Masters titles last year and finished runner-up in the Japan and Swiss Opens. He also narrowly lost to Singapore's Loh Kean Yew at home in the Taiwan Open final last month. Nova hopes Aidil can take inspiration from Tien-chen and keep improving after reaching a career-high No. 47 in the rankings recently. Aidil is currently Malaysia's No. 4 player in the men's singles behind world No. 15 Lee Zii Jia, Leong Jun Hao (No. 25) and Justin Hoh (No. 43). 'My target is for Aidil to break into the top 40 first this year. Then, hopefully he can move up into the top 32 latest by next year,' said Nova. 'I also want him to try to qualify for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.' Aidil will compete next in the Macau Open from July 29-Aug 3.

Herry's different approach as coach bearing fruit for men's doubles
That's the way: Herry Iman Pierngadi (second from left) hugging Man Wei Chong after he and Tee Kai Wun (right) beat Japan's Takuro Hoki-Yugo Kobayashi in the Malaysian Masters semi-finals last month. PETALING JAYA: A coach can change a game, a great coach can change a life. It is a famous saying by American basketball trainer John Wooden and one that is greatly followed by national doubles coach Herry Iman Pierngadi. In fact, the 62-year-old Herry displays Wooden's slogan instead of his photo on his WhatsApp's profile. With such a profound belief in his calling as a coach, no wonder Herry has been able to transform the image of the Malaysian men's doubles department in just six months. From a washout at the All-England in March, the men's doubles under the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) have now contributed five titles in the first half of the year through former world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun. Aaron lifted the Asian championships, Thailand Open and Singapore Open titles while Wei Chong-Kai Wun bagged the Malaysian Masters and entered the Indonesian Open final under the guidance of Herry since early February. It was such a turnaround especially after men's doubles wilted at the All-England in March when none made it past the first round. Wei Chong-Kai Wun also won the Indonesian Masters this year and reached the semi-finals of the Malaysian Open but that was before the arrival of Herry. 'The role of coach is more than just coaching,' said Herry, who has a four-year contract with BAM. 'It's about making a difference in the life of the players. I want them to be successful on and off the court. 'It's about trusting each other – the players and coach; also having a good communication, and being like a father to these players,' said Herry. Herry's calm manner and years of experience as Indonesia's long-serving doubles coach for almost three decades is rubbing off on the Malaysians, and the challenge now is to keep the momentum going in the second half of the year. 'It's a joy for a coach to see his players doing well. I'm so happy to see Man-Tee reaching the final of the Indonesian Open. Earlier, Aaron-Wooi Yik stayed solid for three weeks in a row,' said Herry. 'I think, the greater sense of accomplishment is seeing the change in the players' mindset ... they are now playing with more confidence,' he added. With a strong showing so far, naturally all eyes will be at the World Championships in Paris in August. Since Aaron-Wooi Yik ended the country's wait by winning the world title for the first time at the 2022 edition in Japan, Malaysia's men's doubles campaign has been rather quiet and it's time to make some noise again. In leading to the worlds, Herry's boys will firstly be out make their marks at the back-to-back Japan Open from July 15-20 and China Open from July 22-27. Last year, professional shuttlers Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani captured both the men's doubles title in Japan and China.

Pearly-Thinaah rely on hard work and heart to turn uncertainty into positive energy
Giving it their all: Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah waving to fans following their women's doubles final match against China's Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning at the Indonesian Open. — AFP PETALING JAYA: Women's doubles shuttler Pearly Tan has responded to critics after her maiden podium finish with M. Thinaah at the Indonesian Open. World No. 4 Pearly-Thinaah had come under scrutiny due to an ongoing unresolved contract with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) but instead of reacting to it, they had allowed the results to do the talking. Pearly finally opened up on the challenges she and Thinaah had gone through via a heartfelt social media post. 'This month, we walked into this journey with the weight of expectations and noise of criticism during our tournaments,' said Pearly. 'Not everything that was said about us was true but we chose not to respond with words. Instead, we responded with hard work, resilience and unity.' The duo's contract with BAM had expired last December but they have not signed new deals and there had been rumours too that they could leave BAM to turn independent. Despite the uncertainty surrounding their futures in BAM and the constant speculation, Pearly-Thinaah had remained focused on court and as they navigated the gruelling four weeks of non-stop tournaments. They reached the final in the Indonesian tourney before narrowly going down 25-23, 12-21, 19-21 to China's world No. 1 Liu Shengshu-Tan Ning at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta on Sunday. The pair also captured the Thailand Open last month and did not let their intensity drop, reaching the last four in the Malaysian Masters and the quarter-finals in the Singapore Open after that before their stunning run in Indonesia. 'It wasn't easy but we stood our ground, held on to each other and gave it everything we had. We didn't win the title but we found something even more powerful - strength, belief and heart. 'Thank you to those who stood by us. We will keep this spirit going and see you guys in the next tour.' Pearly also went on to thank the support team behind her and Thinaah. 'It's been a crazy roller coaster month for both of us, testing our minds, staying calm through the chaos and pushing through even when we were tired,' said Pearly. 'Honestly, we couldn't have done it without our amazing support team behind us who were there for us every step of the way. 'They helped us recover, stay strong and keep going on the court. Truly, we couldn't have come this far without all of you.'
