Cai Yun-Haifeng remember all too well Zakry-Fairuzizuan’s on-court exploits


Strong foes: Mohd Fairuzizuan (left) and Mohd Zakry often hit the shots from different angles and directions, says China’s doubles legend Cai Yun.

PETALING JAYA: The names Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif-Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari may no longer ring a bell with most Malaysians but not to China’s former greats Cai Yun-Fu Haifeng.

The 41-year-old Cai Yun has named our former doubles shuttlers Zakry-Fairuzizuan as the most difficult opponents to beat throughout his 12-year partnership with Haifeng.
