For seven months, the Indonesian-Malaysian pair; Hendra Setiawan / Tan Boon Heong has been showing a more solid performance. Coordination constraints faced by them early in their partnering has now begun to be overcome.

At the Indonesia Open this year, they are confident they can go far. So far, they both claimed there were no obstacles.

"So far there are no obstacles, we trust each other while we play in the court. But indeed, we are much better coordinated now than we were. Hendra is a good partner," said Tan.

They used to do training together only when they were going to participate in a tournament. But lately Hendra / Tan admitted that they did more training together.

Although there is an increase in performance, they refuse to smug because Tan and Hendra realize that the competition in the men's doubles is very tight, especially there are new players with good performances like the Indonesia's young men's doubles who will become their first opponent, Kenas Adi Haryanto / Moh. Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.

"We will apply 'step by step' since we have never been in the quarter-final or semi-final. We just want to slow down and to pass the qualifying. The opponents are good too, so we are glad we can start with a victory because we have prepared for this inaugural match. We have to be more ready in this evening to play against Korea," said Tan and agreed by Hendra.
