KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — Former world No. 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei has been in the badminton scene for over two decades, and when he sees something special, people take notice. Recently, he's been raving about the junior doubles pair of Aaron Tai-Kang Khai Xin.

At just 18 years old, the duo has been making waves in the junior circuit, winning numerous titles and garnering attention from fans and coaches alike. Chong Wei was particularly impressed by their skills and flair on the court.

'I'm very happy to see that the younger generation is taking the reins and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in badminton,' Chong Wei said in an interview. 'Aaron and Kang Khai Xin are incredibly talented and gifted players who have the potential to make it big in the international arena.'

Chong Wei, who is no stranger to success himself, having won three Olympic silver medals and being the world No. 1 for 348 weeks, could relate to the struggles and triumphs of the budding stars. He revealed that he sees a lot of himself in Aaron Tai and Kang Khai Xin.

'I used to be like them, always striving for perfection, always hungry for success,' he reminisced. 'When I see them on the court, I see my younger self. They have the same fire in their bellies, the same determination to make a mark in the world of badminton.'

Chong Wei's praise for the duo didn't stop there. He also lauded their work ethic and dedication to the sport. 'These guys put in the hours, they put in the hard work, and it's amazing to see that kind of commitment at such a young age,' he explained. 'If they keep pushing themselves, there's no limit to what they can achieve.'
