Genevie-Zi Yu assure Malaysia of medal at World Juniors
KUALA LUMPUR: Low Zi Yu continued her remarkable run at the World Junior Championships after securing a third consecutive girls’ doubles medal, this time alongside Genevie Lim in Cairo today.
Genevie Lim and Low Zi Yu of Malaysia earned themselves a third consecutive girls' doubles medal at the World Junior Championships, defeating Hong Kong's fifth seeds 15-7, 15-7 in the quarter-finals. The victory followed a disappointing mixed doubles exit, where Zi Yu and Ahmad Redzuan Zulwaqqarizal were eliminated early in the tournament.
The top seeds and previous Asian junior champions had lost their opening game against South Korea's Jeon Seong Been-Kim Min Chae but bounced back to remain in contention for the gold. They will now face China's Shi Si Chen-Xiang Yu Jin in a final battle to secure Malaysia's first-ever world junior gold medal.
