KUALA LUMPUR: Ahmad Redzuan Zulwaqqarizal-Low Zi Yu could end Malaysia’s long mixed doubles title drought at the World Junior Championships in Cairo this week.
Ahmad Redzuan Zulwaqqarizal-Low Zi Yu and Lim Khim Wah-Ng Hui Lin could end Malaysia's 19-year mixed doubles title drought at the World Junior Championships in Cairo. Lim Khim Wah-Ng Hui Lin and Lim Khim Wah-Ng Hui Lin were the last Malaysian team to win the title in 2007. The pair showed their form earlier in the month by clinching the mixed doubles title at the Asian Junior Championships in Japan.
National junior coach Hazwan Jamaluddin remains optimistic about the prospects of the Malaysian duo, citing their strong performance in the mixed team event. The Malaysian team faces tough competition from China's Zheng Wei Gang-Tan Ke Xuan and Feng Yi Lan-Meng Han, as well as European champion Gokay Gol-Nisa Nur Cimen of Turkiye.
The Malaysian boys' singles player Kong Wei Xiang advanced to the third round after defeating New Zealand's Li Wen Xuan, while the girls' singles player Carine Tee also advanced after defeating Ghana's Alana Faith Sullo.
