Love on the Smashing Court
A Game Where Two Can Win
“Love” is the name of a scoring point in tennis and a powerful force in life. For the dynamic pair of Terry Hee and Tan Wei Han, love is both the sweet score they chase on the badminton court and the partnership that made them wedding rings.
Birthday of a Winning Combo
- World No. 15 in 2017 – the start of a global surge.
- Multiple podium finishes in championships across Southeast Asia.
- Consistent teamwork that turns every match into a dance of coordination.
When they step onto the court, the world is their audience. Their shuttlecock never misses the target because they have each other’s rainiest backbones humming on the sidelines.
From Court to Wedding
Just as they began winning flags together, they decided to win the biggest flag of all: marriage. In 2021, they tied the knot, turning their shared board into a ‘boardroom’ of life that’s richer than any title.
So the truly unbeatable game is clear: when two people love each other while chasing a point, both win—on the court and beyond.
Character bio
Terry & Wei Han: Singapore’s Badminton BFFs
Meet Terry
Terry kicked off his pro journey back in 2014, straight out of the Singapore Sports School’s elite badminton academy. After a two‑year break (yes, he was on National Service duty from 2019‑2021), he hit the courts with a vengeance.
Recent Milestone: The Singapore Badminton Open
At the latest Open, Terry teamed up with Loh Kean Hean – the elder brother of badminton legend Loh Kean Yew. The pair shocked the crowd by navigating past the fiery Malaysian duo Junaidi Arif and Muhammad Haikal with a 21‑9, 21‑17 victory, earning a spot in the quarter‑finals.
Wei Han’s Lone Wolf Saga
Wei Han, also a proud SSS alumnus, turned pro in 2011. She’s faced more injuries than a broken racket, yet each setback only made her stronger – like a pre‑match training montage, but real.
Mixed‑Doubles Magic
- First‑ever Pair: The couple began playing together as soon as they turned pro.
- Proven Track Record: They’ve secured the number‑one spot in several BWF International Challenge tournaments.
- Team Chemistry: Their on‑court synergy reads like a romance novel – full of heartbeats, strategy, and the occasional lightning‑fast smash.
From teenage dreamers to championship contenders, Terry and Wei Han embody resilience, rally spirit, and a touch of Singaporean flair. Their story is still unfolding – stay tuned for the next chapter in this real‑life Badminton Love Story.
Achievement unlocked
From Wedding Bells to World Tour Wins: A Fast‑Track Love Story
They tied the knot in October 2021, and just a few days after exchanging vows, they grabbed their first gold as a married pair at the Czech Open. The victory meant more than a shiny trophy – it was a punch in the gut for a ranking that had slipped to 788, thanks to Terry’s short‑term break, Wei Han’s injury sit‑down, and the chaos of a pandemic.
But this was only the beginning. In the year that followed, the dynamic duo:
- Clinched their first BWF World Tour Super 500 title at the 2022 India Open.
- Secure a third international title at the BWF World Tour Super 100 event in France – the Orleans Masters.
Three titles in six months, and every one of them came in like that roller‑coaster moment when you realize the universe is on your side. ICYDK, they basically wobbled like a fertility dance off the podium every time they stepped onto the court.
By May 2022, they had sky‑highed their world ranking to No. 44. Talk about turning a dip into an upscale jump – Sibei and Terry not only shoulder‑to‑shoulder on the podium but also on the leaderboard.
