Women’s doubles Teoh Mei Xing-Go Pei Kee may have secured their partnership after clinching their first international title at the Malaysia Super 100 at Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara today.<\/p>\n
World No. 112 Mei Xing-Pei Kee pulled off a stunning upset, defeating No. 50 Nicole Gonzales Chan-Yang Chu Yun of Taiwan 22-20, 21-11 in a 42-minute final.<\/p>\n
Mei Xing-Pei Kee, who were previously playing in mixed doubles, were allowed to focus entirely on the women’s doubles earlier this year after the Uber Cup in Chengdu in May.<\/p>\n
Mei Xing had been partnering Hoo Pang Ron, while Pei Kee teamed up with Choong Hon Jian in mixed doubles.<\/p>\n
However, mixed doubles coach Nova Widianto permitted the duo to concentrate on the women’s doubles, and today’s victory marked a significant breakthrough as they secured their first title in just their sixth tournament together.<\/p>\n
Mei Xing-Pei Kee hope their partnership will continue when a new women’s doubles coach is appointed.<\/p>\n
It is understood that, except for world No. 7 Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah, the other pairs could face a reshuffle.<\/p>\n
However, with this victory, Mei Xing-Pei Kee may have made a strong case to national coaching director Rexy Mainaky.<\/p>\n
Rosman Razak, rumoured to be the next women’s doubles coach, was present at Juara Stadium to witness the final.<\/p>\n
“It’s such a relief to finally win a title after early-round exits in previous tournaments,” said Mei Xing.<\/p>\n
“This victory is a reward for all the hard work and setbacks we’ve endured.<\/p>\n
“We don’t know what the new coach’s plans will be for us, but we’ll be happy if we’re given the chance to continue as a pair.”<\/p>\n
Reflecting on her previous partnership, Mei Xing added: “Sometimes I felt confused about my career when I was partnering Anna Cheong, but with Pei Kee, I feel reassured.”<\/p>\n
Mei Xing and her former partner Anna were once tipped for great things after reaching the quarter-finals of the Malaysia Open and Malaysia Masters in 2022. However, Anna’s knee injury dashed those hopes.<\/p>\n
Pei Kee was emotional after the win, holding back tears.<\/p>\n
“We didn’t expect to reach the final, and this victory is huge for me. If we’re given another chance, this could be the start of something bigger for us.”<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Rexy Mainaky said the decision regarding the pair’s future will rest with the new coach.<\/p>\n
“The new head coach will evaluate the current pairs and decide on any reshuffles. “He will also discuss with Mei Xing-Pei Kee, but whether they stay together or not is up to him.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
