PETALING JAYA: National doubles shuttler Yap Roy King is not one to back down from a challenge although he was surprised to be chosen as Wan Arif Wan Junaidi’s new partner after a reshuffle in the men’s doubles department.
Arif’s three-year partnership with Mohd Haikal Nazri had ended after the latter had been combined with Nur Izzuddin Rumsani.“I was quite shocked when Arif and the coaches chose me as his new partner as I had just recently been looking to fully focus on the mixed doubles,” said Roy King, who turned 22 last Friday.
The youngster last played in the men’s doubles with Chang Yee Jun for about a year and had reached No. 64 in the world rankings before their partnership ended last November when the latter was briefly combined with Low Hang Yee. Roy King’s best results with Yee Jun were reaching the semi-finals of the Ukraine and Swedish Opens last year.
Roy King is modest about his past results as he believes that Arif is still the more experienced of the two.
