KUALA LUMPUR: Men's doubles Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani have cleared the air on rumours of their returning to the BA of Malaysia (BAM).
There has been talk that the independent world No. 3 pair were returning to BAM to train with legendary coach Herry IP.
Sze Fei-Izzuddin quit BAM in September last year — just a week after winning the Japan Open. They went on to claim the China Open, Arctic Open and India Open, shooting up to world No. 1 eight weeks ago.
However, they have not won a title since their India Open triumph in January.
They have since relinquished their top spot to South Korean pair Seung Seo Jae-Kim Won Ho, who defeated them in the Japan Open final last week.
In an Instagram Story post on his official account, Sze Fei clarified that he and his partner are happy with their status as a professional pair.
"We wish to clarify that we are happy with our status as a professional pair and reaching the Japan Open final has further strengthened our confidence and drive to continue improving under the guidance of our coach, Teo Kok Siang," read the post.
"Our relationship with BAM remains great, and we always appreciate BAM for the support shown to us throughout our stints with them.
"Hope this can stop the untrue rumours out there."
Sze Fei-Izzuddin are competing in the China Open, where they are the tournament top seeds, and expected to face South Korea's Kang Min Hyuk-Ki Dong Ju in the first round tomorrow.
