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.

Yee Hern-Wen Tse shock Thai pair to win first senior title
KUALA LUMPUR: National mixed doubles back-up pair Wee Yee Hern-Chan Wen Tse claimed their first senior title after winning the Thailand International Series on Sunday. The world No 144 stunned Thailand's world No 64 Ratchapol Makkasasithorn-Nattamon Laisuan 22-20, 21-16 in just 33 minutes in Korat. It was Yee Hern-Wen Tse's second win over the Thai duo, following their victory at the Sri Lanka International Challenge in February. They now lead the head-to-head 2-1. This was only their second tournament together since reuniting at the Macau Open earlier this month. Wen Tse had partnered Chen Tang Jie during a brief split with Toh Ee Wei earlier in the year, reaching the semi-finals of the Taiwan Open before exiting in the first round of the Malaysia Masters in May. During that period, Yee Hern played with Clarissan San at the World University Games in Germany. Although Yee Hern and Wen Tse were knocked out in the first round in Macau by compatriots Loo Bing Kun-Go Pei Kee, their victory in Korat underlines their chemistry and potential as a pair. The result also gives national mixed doubles coach Nova Widianto another promising partnership to back up Tang Jie-Ee Wei. Yee Hern-Wen Tse will next feature at the Malaysia International Challenge in Perak next week.
