Rexy’s unwavering faith in his charges despite setbacks pays off big time

Keep up the good work: Rexy Mainaky says better communication between Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik has helped them to go all the way in Tokyo.

REXY Mainaky was overjoyed after helping national doubles pair Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik end their title drought in style by capturing the world crown in Tokyo.

The doubles coaching director saw his faith in the much-maligned duo pay off handsomely when they stunned Indonesia’s three-time world champions Mohammad Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan 21-19, 21-14 in the final at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium yesterday to end Malaysia’s long wait for a world title.
