As far as Rexy Mainaky is concerned, this is possibly the strongest Malaysian doubles team to compete at the World Championships, and they have a real chance to win a title in Paris (Aug 25–31). The national doubles coaching director said that the depth in men's doubles — where Malaysia have three pairs in the world top eight: No. 2 Aaron Chia–Soh Wooi Yik No. 3 Goh Sze Fei–Nur Izzuddin Rumsani and No. 7 Man Wei Chong–Tee Kai Wun — along with women's doubles world No. 2 Pearly Tan–M. Thinaah, and mixed doubles world No. 4 Chen Tang Jie–Toh Ee Wei, gives Malaysia a fighting chance to land a second world title since 2022. Malaysia are the only other team besides Taiwan to have four pairs, although debutants world No. 22 Wan Arif Junaidi–Yap Roy King are not in the same class as their three other compatriots. Aaron–Wooi Yik won Malaysia's first world title in 2022, but Rexy believes the other three pairs have shown they also have the quality to fight for it — as do Pearly–Thinaah. "I can say this is the strongest team we have assembled for the World Championships,"said Rexy at the Academy Badminton Malaysia today. "Last time we had Aaron–Wooi Yik. But this time, out of the four men's pairs — three from BAM and Sze Fei–Izzuddin, they have a strong chance to prove they can challenge for the title. "Maybe not Arif–Roy King, but the other three definitely have a good opportunity. "Pearly–Thinaah have overcome pairs from South Korea and China, but they are only stuck against China. However, they have avoided the top China pairs until the final, and they too have the chance." Rexy has also been talking about his vision for Malaysians to win multiple titles at the World Championships, and he believes it could start in Paris — as long as the players don't start overthinking. "The vision for multiple titles could start in Paris — but if the players overthink it, we might fail," added Rexy. "The opportunity is there and it could happen. But like I said — they just need to take it step by step, keep climbing the ladder, and look forward. "The mindset should be that 'I have the ability to win another title for Malaysia.'" Rexy, who is also the team manager, left for Paris tonight with the doubles players
