00:00In the very open Malaysia, 2025, which will start from 7 to 12 January,
00:06the competition will focus on the three-time world champion,
00:09Goh Zafie and Nur Izzuddin Rumsani,
00:12whose performance is currently at the top.
00:15Before this, no one has set a high standard for this couple.
00:19However, based on the quality of the game,
00:21they are among the choices to win this competition.
00:26Regardless, the three-time world champion,
00:29Goh Zafie, has a low opinion of the Danish couple,
00:32Daniel Lundgaard and Max Westergaard,
00:35who met in the first round of the open Malaysia 2025,
00:39although they are competing against each other
00:41in the final spurt of Abu Dhabi Masters 2024.
00:44I think there is no easy opponent.
00:46All of them are strong.
00:48We will make the best preparation.
00:54Meanwhile, Alif Junaid and his partner, Yap Roy King,
00:57are not putting any pressure on themselves,
00:59despite being ahead of schedule.
01:01South Korean Kim Wonho and Seo Seong-jae,
01:04who have an interesting technique and gameplay in the first round.
01:10There are still a lot of things that are lacking.
01:12Firstly, of course, in terms of power,
01:14we need to be consistent.
01:18And when the opponent is ahead of us,
01:23we need to overcome it.
01:26I think I am always confident with my partner.
01:29If we enter the court, we will give our best.
01:33Meanwhile, the coach of the professional team,
01:36Thio Kok Siang, is putting his focus on the players
01:39who are at least in the semi-finals.
01:43If possible, I want to be consistent in the semi-finals.
01:49For the tournament?
01:50Yes, for the tournament.
01:51But not every tournament can be picked.
01:55So, sometimes we have to look at their condition,
01:58especially Sun Huat.
02:00So, according to the plan,
02:03the target for the next year is KPI like this.
02:08Goh Sun Huat hopes that his partner,
02:11Siwon, will celebrate his 60th anniversary
02:14by winning the Malaysian Open for the mixed doubles category.
02:18Compared to the other tournaments,
02:22being able to stand at the home ground stage
02:26is a different feeling for us.
