Badminton couples have always been a special feature of the sport – from the days of, for instance, Herbert and Betty Uber in the 1920s, on to recent times which have seen Chris and Gabby Adcock, Liu Cheng and Bao Yixin, and Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl, among others.
The first HSBC BWF World Tour event of the year – the YONEX-SUNRISE India Open 2022 – saw the husband-wife team of Hee Yong Kai Terry/Tan Wei Han claim the mixed doubles. It was, they acknowledged, a wedding gift of sorts after they tied the knot last October.
Hee and Tan have had a good run since their wedding. They were semifinalists at the Dutch Open, won the Czech Open, and were again semifinalists the following week, at the Belgian International.
