AKADEMI Badminton Malaysia coaching director Rexy Mainaky hopes the national shuttlers can break the country’s six-year title drought at the Malaysia Open, scheduled to take place at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur from January 9-14.

He encouraged the national players not to miss the opportunity to secure the World Tour Super 1000 title, a feat last achieved by Malaysia in 2018 through the legendary Lee Chong Wei.
