Hoo Pang Ron affirms commitment to Cheng Su Yin amid difficult period

Hoo Pang Ron — Malaysian mixed doubles badminton player — demonstrates commitment to maintaining partnership with Cheng Su Yin, despite the world number 13 pair facing challenging times.

Currently, Hoo is forced to rest after Cheng suffered a hamstring injury at Thailand Open 2025 — their last tournament before recovery period.

Prior to this incident, the pair under Nova Widianto’s guidance experienced significant performance decline — only reaching quarter-finals at Indonesia Masters and Orleans Masters early this year.

The Malaysian pair’s best achievement was recorded when they reached China Masters finals late last year — nearly defeating world number one Chinese pair Feng Yan Zhe/Huang Dong Ping, after winning first game and fighting until setting point in second game.
