PETALING JAYA: Young shuttler Chan Wen Tse has showed that her partnership with Wee Yee Hern is here to stay after winning the Thailand International Series. World No. 144 Yee Hern-Wen Tse showed promise when they pulled off an impressive 22-20, 21-16 win over world No. 64 home pair Ratchapol Makkasasithorn-Nattamon Laisuan in Korat yesterday. The 20-year-olds, who only combined early this year, stayed composed to win a close opening game before sealing the victory in just 33 minutes. Wen Tse, who hails from Kelantan is hoping that the title in Thailand will be the first of many from them. 'I'm really happy to win my first title with Yee Hern. 'This is just the beginning for us and we'll keep working hard for more titles in the future,' said Wen Tse. The win was sweet revenge for Yee Hern-Wen Tse after losing to the Thai pair in the last four of the Sri Lanka International Series in March. 'We prepared well both physically and mentally for this tournament,' she said. 'The key to our win was staying focused, communicating constantly and sticking to our game plan.' Yee Hern-Wen Tse were only competing in their second tournament together after reuniting following a brief split when Wen Tse was combined with Chen Tang Jie. Spurred on by the win, Wen Tse is next out to break into the top 50 in the world rankings with Yee Hern. 'This win gives us great confidence to keep pushing and aiming higher in our next tournaments,' said Wen Tse. 'Our trust and teamwork help us perform well as a pair. We hope to next break into the world's top 50.' Yee Hern-Wen Tse will have an opportunity to grab back-to-back titles when they play next in the Malaysian International Challenge starting tomorrow in Ipoh, Perak.
