PETALING JAYA: While Pearly Tan-M. Thinaah grabbed the spotlight with their historic feat at the World Championships in Paris, much of the credit must also go to the man behind their rise – coach Rosman Razak.
Rosman has shown that local coaches are capable of guiding players to the very top. He shaped Pearly-Thinaah into one of the most formidable pairs in women’s doubles, and stayed behind the girls even when the going was tough in past tournaments.
