Bing Kun grateful for chance to partner Ee Wei and play in top tier events despite defeat
PETALING JAYA: It was not the ending that mixed doubles pair Loo Bing Kun-Toh Ee Wei had hoped for after bowing out in the second round of the Malaysian Masters yesterday. Despite putting up a strong fight against Taiwan's Ye Hong-wei and Nicole Gonzales Chan, a shift in tactics by their opponents disrupted their momentum and ultimately led to a narrow 21-19, 20-22, 18-21 defeat. Nevertheless, the tournament marked a significant turning point for Bing Kun. Although he did not progress deep into the competition, he has caught the attention of national mixed doubles coach Nova Widianto, who described him as a star in the making. The Malaysian Masters marked Bing Kun's final outing with Ee Wei, but the pair showed plenty of promise during their brief partnership, having competed together in just two events, including the Taiwan Open. Ee Wei, who has reconciled with her regular partner Chen Tang Jie following a brief separation, will play at the Singapore Open starting next Tuesday. 'I'm happy that my coach has recognised my potential. It would be great if I could carry this momentum forward with a new partner soon,' said Bing Kun. 'Playing in high-level tournaments like this is a completely new experience. 'In lower-tier events, the atmosphere is very different. 'Here, we are up against world-class opponents, those ranked in the top 30 or even top 20. 'It is definitely a big challenge, even from the first round. 'You don't get this kind of intensity in smaller tournaments.' It remains uncertain whether Bing Kun will be reunited with his original partner Ho Lo Ee, who is now playing in the women's doubles with Amanda Yap. Although he will no longer be partnering Ee Wei, Bing Kun intends to hold on to the guidance she gave him, which he hopes to apply in future partnerships. 'One of the pieces of advice from Ee Wei that stuck with me is to never give up once you step onto the court. 'Fight until the very end, no matter if your opponent is the world No. 1 or a world champion. 'Just keep fighting,' he added. Earlier, another mixed doubles pair, Wong Tien Ci-Lim Chiew Sien, also bowed out after losing to the Thai duo Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran 14-21, 9-21.

Malaysia Masters 2025: Pearly-Thinaah bounce back to march into the quarterfinals
THE country's top women's doubles pair, Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah, admitted that their comeback at crucial moments was the key to their success in advancing to the quarterfinals of the 2025 Malaysia Masters after defeating Thai pair Pichamon Phatcharaphisutsin-Nannapas Sukklad at the Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil, here today. The tournament's third seeds defeated Pichamon-Nannapas in straight sets, 21-13 and 21-15, in a 37-minute match to keep their momentum going in front of the home crowd after having beaten the Hongkong pair in the first round yesterday. 'I think during those few points, the opponent also really pressured us, so that really caught us off guard at some points as well. But then we reminded each other to just stand firm on our own gameplay and support each other along the way,' Thinaah told reporters here today. Pearly-Thinaah will face the challenge of the tournament's fifth seeds from Indonesia, Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma-Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi, in the quarterfinals after the Indonesian pair defeated Taiwan's Yan Fei Chen-Liang Ching Sun, 21-13, 21-13, in another second round match. 'I think all the pairs we play are really difficult, not easy, and usually we just always remind each other, no matter if the opponent is leading or we are leading. 'We just want to remind each other to keep focus, keep our gameplay, and also discuss with coaches. So I think this is the main thing to keep us focused,' said Pearly. Meanwhile, another national women's doubles pair Go Pei Kee-Teoh Mei Xing suffered a straight sets defeat to the tournament's seventh seeds from China, Jia Yi Fan-Zhang Shu Xian, going down 6-21, 13-21. Malaysia's challenge in the mixed doubles event also ended when Wong Tien Ci-Lim Chiew Sien failed to match the tournament's sixth seeds from Thailand, Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Supissara Paewsampran, losing 14-21, 9-21. Also bidding farewell to the tournament were the pair of Loo Bing Kun-Toh Ee Wei after losing a fierce 68-minute battle to Taiwan's Ye Hong Wei-Nicole Gonzales Chan, 21-19, 20-22, 18-21. For the record, this marks the final appearance for the Bing Kun-Ee Wei pair, as Ee Wei is scheduled to reunite with Chen Tang Jie after this, starting with the Singapore Open 2025 from May 27 to June 1. Bing Kun expressed his delight that his talent has started to attract the attention of the coaching staff and hopes to be given the opportunity to partner a more established player after this. 'Usually at the lower level, we don't get to experience this kind of atmosphere with many supporters. All our opponents are from the world's top 30. 'Ee Wei gave a lot of advice, telling me not to give up easily and to keep fighting until the end. No matter who the opponent is, whether world number one or world champion, we still have to give our best,' he said. Meanwhile, Ee Wei denied that the court conditions were the cause of their defeat, even though the match had to be stopped several times to enable the floor to be wiped.
