Malaysian padel announced itself at the Asian Games this year, and Aidan Yunus was one half of the story. He and partner Christian Chin reached the men’s doubles final and came home with silver, and he joins us to look back on that run, including the early lead in the final and what the Qatari champions showed them about handling pressure. Aidan also traces his path from badminton, tennis and squash to the padel court, how he builds chemistry with a partner, and what it will take to turn a breakout result into lasting growth for the sport.
