PETALING JAYA: National men’s doubles pair Wan Arif Wan Junaidi-Yap Roy King appear to be confused while trying to adapt to the philosophy introduced by head coach Herry Iman Pierngadi, says national doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky.
Rexy said this has caused Wan Arif-Roy King to lose their direction, with the duo making numerous mistakes during their matches, Bernama reported.
“They seem to be forcing themselves to play according to the philosophy introduced (by Herry). I have already spoken with them, especially Wan Arif, who seems confused and appears to have lost his way.
“However, we’ve started to see some results in the last tournament at the Indonesia Open where they managed to play three games against teammates Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun,” he was quoted as saying during a training session in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
Rexy Mainaky.
“We hope they’ll be more confident in upcoming tournaments.”
In a second round match at the 2025 Indonesia Open last month, Wan Arif-Roy King took the first game 21-14, but failed to contain the comeback from Wei Chong-Kai Wun and lost 11-21, 15-21.
Since being guided by Herry, who began his stint with the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) in February, the world No 24 pair have only managed to reach one semi-final – the Orleans Masters in France last March – out of eight tournaments entered.
This situation is clearly different from two other national pairs – 2022 world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Wei Chong-Kai Wun – who have shown a positive impact under Herry’s guidance.
Aaron-Wooi Yik have already won three titles this year – the 2025 Badminton Asia Championships in Ningbo, China, the 2025 Thailand Open, and the 2025 Singapore Open – while Wei Chong-Kai Wun claimed the 2025 Indonesia Masters and 2025 Malaysia Masters titles.
Meanwhile, Rexy revealed that national men’s doubles player Haikal Nazri has not been as aggressive as before and has lost self-confidence after returning from a thigh muscle injury sustained during training last December.
The situation forced Haikal and his partner Choong Hon Jian to miss several major tournaments including the 2025 Malaysia Open last January, and their world ranking has now dropped to 47th.
Although they returned to action last May, Hon Jian-Haikal have failed to shine, exiting early in all five tournaments they have participated in this year.
Despite acknowledging the difficult period faced by Hon Jian-Haikal, the Indonesian doubles specialist hopes both players will use the current break to regain momentum for their next outing at the 2025 Japan Open from July 15-20.
