Kuala Lumpur: Academy Badminton Malaysia coaching director Rexy Mainaky is deeply concerned with the current inconsistent performance of the country’s number one men’s doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik.

Rexy ackowledged that he would not be able to hide his concern, especially after Aaron-Wooi Yik had shown a prolonged below par performance that saw the pair exit at the quarterfinal stage in two consecutive tournaments in the space of a week.

The pair who lost in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Malaysia Masters last week, were shown the exit in the quarterfinals of the 2024 Singapore Open, Saturday.

In the Singapore Open which is a Super 750 tournament, Aaron-Wooi Yik, the 2022 World Champions, lost to Denmark’s Kim Astrup-Anders Skaarup Rasmussen, 10-21, 14-21, in straight sets at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.

“The movements of Aaron-Wooi Yik and return shots in yesterday’s match lacked impact and direction,” he told Bernama when contacted today.
