Kim Her finally ready to stop experimenting with doubles partnerships.
By KNG ZHENG GUAN

PETALING JAYA: National doubles coach Tan Kim Her is finally ready to stop experimenting and start building a squad for the future.
The only solid pair in the national squad are the much-maligned Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong combination as Kim Her has been experimenting with the other partnerships under his charge.
His job was made even more difficult when several players – Teo Kok Siang, Chooi Kah Ming and Mak Hee Chun – suffered injuries last year, thus forcing him to reshuffle the doubles line-ups repeatedly.
Now he has a full squad available at his disposal, following the successful returns of long-term knee injury victims Kok Siang and Kah Ming.
After tinkering with the line-up the past few months, Kim Her has finally decided to build solid doubles partnerships for the long run.
Goh V Shem and Lim Khim Wah, who have forged a strong combination and are currently ranked 29th in the world, will remain as a pair.
The changes, however, will see Tan Wee Kiong (pic) teaming up with Hoon Thien How while 2008 world junior champions Hee Chun-Kok Siang will be reunited.
The other pairs in the squad will be Mohd Lufti Zaim-Vountus Indra Mawan and the two world junior pairings of Nelson Heg-Teo Ee Yi and Kah Ming-Ow Yao Han.
“This is to build the squad to focus on the future. There will be no more trials and experiments,” said Kim Her.
“The Australian Open next week will be the last experimental tournament. After that, the players will have to stick to the combinations that we have decided.
“Most importantly, however, is that they’re happy with their partners and comfortable playing with one another.
“I’ve spoken to each player and they are happy with the arrangements.
“For now, we have an important four-month period where everyone in the doubles squad will help Kien Keat-Boon Heong in their preparations for the Olympics as well as the Thomas Cup.”

Kim Her also said that three pairs – Thien How-Wee Kiong, V Shem-Khim Wah and Lufti-Vountus – will be entered for the Asian Badminton Championships (ABC), which will be held in Qingdao, China, from April 17-22.

What help if they don't help themselves ? I remember during school days. (ONLY) Help those who help themselves.

I think Kim Her has no choice but to stick to TBH/KKK because it's the Olympics year. There's no pair currently who can challenge TBH/KKK on the national front. After the Olympics, I have a feeling that this pair will be broken off. Not sure where they will be heading to because each of them seem to be on a downward spiral. When even the locals have lost hope in this national pair, where else can they gain confidence from, I wonder.

I think things will be very interesting if GTC/TBS are still with BAM.

Is not that they don't want to try their best in playing, we are not the one playing and not the one facing the stress that they are currently facing. Supports to them are much needed.

They have BAM full supports. No worries.

Way too many unforced errors by KKK in the Olympics against the Korean.

**julianng** · 08-01-2012, 09:23 PM

I'm not a fan of KKK/TBH but I think realistically there are so many pairs that are better than them right now. This includes CAI/FU , JJS/LYD, BO/MO, Ko/YOO, Bona/Ahsan, Maneepong/Jongjeet, Hashimoto/Hirata, TAIPEI pair, HK pair, etc etc. etc. and many others who beat them this year....

They were once very good pair. They were once feared by their opponents. They won Asian game title and many other titles.

Yes they are facing problems right now but the fact is were once very solid pair.
