KUALA LUMPUR: Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) doubles coaching director Rexy Mainaky (pic) says his strategy for men’s doubles shuttlers Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik had worked in delivering the country’s first-ever World Championship title.

He said knowing that it was not easy to defeat the "Daddies", as Mohd Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan are known, he had advised his charges to opt for longer rallies and not to rush in receiving the returns.
