“The respect I have for them and all they've achieved in badminton is just too great to take this all in,” were the words of an emotional Roy King Yap after he and Junaidi Arif defeated Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan 21-13 21-14 to send the legendary duo out of DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2025.
It marked the final match of the Daddies' two-decade career.
Tears flowed on court as well – Ahsan broke down as soon as the last shuttle dropped. Later in the mixed zone, the 23-year-old Yap struggled to keep his emotions in check when asked about the significance of his opponents to his career.
