PETALING JAYA: Veteran shuttler Tan Wee Kiong has credited partner Nur Mohd Azriyn Ayub for the pair’s impressive rise up the rankings in the men’s doubles.
While attention has always been more on Wee Kiong, who captured silver in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics with former partner Goh V Shem and reached No. 1 in the world with the latter, Azriyn, 31, has quietly played a key role beside the 35-year-old as the duo look to continue to defy their respective ages.
