Coach K. Yogendran says Justin Hoh, a Malaysian badminton player, needs time to adjust to the professional level.
South Korean An Se-Young, the Paris Olympics champion, named world's top female badminton player For 2024 PETALING JAYA: It will take some time before national men’s singles shuttler Justin Hoh finds his footing at the professional level of the badminton scene, says coach K. Yogendran. Yogendran, who was moved from the women’s singles camp to the men’s singles department in October, said Justin has been progressing well throughout the year.
