ASIAN Junior Championships - 2 Bronze for Our Youth Team
Singapore's grab the Bronze Medal in both the Junior Boys' Doubles and Cadet Girls' Singles Events! In the Semi Finals, Pang Xue Jie/Lim Jie Yan faltered against the South Koreans Kim Min Seok/Seo Jung Seo. The players from the Republic of Korea played at a higher level than our boys. Despite much struggle from our boys, they lost 11-6, 11-8 in the 1st 2 sets. Our boys were not prepared to give up in the 3rd set either, fighting to the very last end. They showed sheer determination and a high standard of play, but were still beaten by their opponents. Our boys lost by the smallest margin of 11-9 in the last game.

Meanwhile, Isabelle managed to overcome India's Bhandarkar Mallika Srirang for the 2nd time this month to secure another Bronze for the republic. She won 4-1 (13-11, 12-10, 11-9, 7-11, 12-10). However, good time did not last. The 4th seed is failed to notch a win from another Japanese defender, Maeda Miyu. The 2nd Seed had a tough match playing to the full 7 games distance. Ultimately, the Japanese lady prevailed. She won 12-10, 8-11, 11-8, 8-11, 11-5, 5-11, 5-11.
