PETALING JAYA: It’s high time for Malaysia to claim the Commonwealth Games mixed doubles gold, says independent coach Chin Eei Hui.
Bring home the gold: Tan Kian Meng and Lai Pei Jing are the mixed doubles top seeds heading to the Games in Birmingham.
And the responsibility will fall on the shoulders of none other than Eei Hui’s charges Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jing when the Games are staged in Birmingham from July 28 to Aug 8. Kian Meng-Pei Jing, the world No. 9, will be the top seeds and face challenges from Singapore’s Terry Hee-Jessica Tan , Marcus Ellis-Lauren Smith of England and Scotland’s Adam Hall-Julie Macpherson .“It has been 12 years since our last gold and it was my last major success as a player . We must try and win it this time,” said Eei Hui.
English pair Chris Adcock-Gabrielle Adcock won in Glasgow 2014 and Gold Coast 2018 while Malaysia’s only success was a bronze through Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying in 2018.
