Ee Wei says she's starting to click again with Tang Jie
Toh Ee Wei.–KAMARUL ARIFFIN/THE STAR KUALA LUMPUR: National mixed doubles shuttler Toh Ee Wei says she is finding her rhythm again with partner Chen Tang Jie after they were reunited in April. However, she said there was still a lot of work to be done before she and Tang Jie could restore their performance to its previous peak. "At the Singapore Open, we didn't perform well. But we tried to get our focus back at the Indonesia Open, and we entered the semi-finals," said Ee Wei after a training session at Academy Badminton Malaysia (ABM) here today (June 13). "I think we are slowly regaining our form. There is more to improve and we need to keep training hard." In March, the Badminton Association of Malaysia announced that the world number four pair would be split to allow the coach to try new combinations following tension in their partnership. However, Tang Jie and Ee Wei were reunited at the recent Sudirman Cup and helped Malaysia reach the quarter-finals. - Bernama

Jonassen is open to treatment option for Tze Yong
In pain: National men's singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong having a word with coaches Kenneth Jonassen and K. Yogendran during the Malaysian Masters. — IZZRAFIQ ALIAS/The Star PETALING JAYA: Kenneth Jonassen is all for treatment abroad if it helps injured singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong return to court again. Tze Yong will be undergoing surgery to repair his damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and his recovery and return may take about a year. Instead of going for treatment locally, former internationals Datuk Lee Chong Wei (singles) and Goh Liu Ying (mixed doubles) are suggesting for Tze Yong to look at the option of going abroad. Jonassen, who was hired by Badminton Association of Malaysia to change the fortunes of Malaysian singles this year, wants what works best for Tze Yong. "I would surely suggest the best possible solution which gives him the strongest chance to recover from the injury and return to world-class badminton," said the Dane. "And if this means he has to go overseas then yes, I would want that solution for him." Tze Yong had picked up the injury during the first round of the Malaysian Masters last month. It was only his first tournament since making a comeback after a year of non-action following his back injury. Meanwhile, Jonassen said that a plan to get foreign players to spar with the singles was still in the pipeline. "I want to do it but every international top player has his own schedule - and this has to fit into our plans as well," he said. "It is and will always be an extra bonus if this arrangement can happen. There are however, other ways to develop players to the highest level too."
