Professional doubles coach Teo Kok Siang and Malaysia’s mixed doubles player Goh Soon Huat sat behind them, offering advice as they took on the Chinese duo. Terry explained that they sought help from Kok Siang and Soon Huat after their coach Paulus Firman was unable to travel to Birmingham due to unavoidable reasons. Throughout the match, Terry-Gloria gained fresh insights from the duo and came close to pulling off a major upset. “We are good friends off court and we are happy that Kok Siang and Soon Huat could help us today because our coach could not be here due to unavoidable matters,” Terry told Badminton Indonesia. Speaking on their preparation for the All-England, Terry-Gloria had trained separately before regrouping in Birmingham.
