ITTF Bahrain Junior Open - Silver for Isabelle
2nd Seed Li Siyun Isabelle lost to South Korea's Yang Ha Eun in the Finals of the Cadet Girls' Singles and settled for Silver.

The Top Seed beat Isabelle in straight games, 11-9,12-10,11-4. Li became the biggest winner of our contingent, winning a total of 1 Silver and 1 Bronze. In addition, she achieved a Top 8 position in both the Junior Girls' Singles and Doubles events.

Meanwhile, our male paddlers suffered early exits. In the Junior Boys' Event, Pang Xue Jie's progress was blocked by another South Korean Kim Dong Hyun. Chew Zhe Yu Clarence suffered 1st round defeat against Assar Khalid from Eygpt, while Tay Jit Kai failed to qualify for the Main Draw.

In the Cadet Boys' Event, our male paddlers continued their poor form. Chew Zhe Yu Clarence lost to Jang Woo Jin of South Korea and Tay Jit Kai perished in group stage. The pair lost to 2nd Seed Indeherberg Julien/Jean Lauric in the 2nd round of the Junior Boys' Doubles Event.

Lets hope that our paddlers will achieve better results in their next Junior Open in Qatar!
