Luck to finally favour Zi Yu this time in her world challenge?
KUALA LUMPUR: Will the third time be the charm for Low Zi Yu at the World Junior Championships?
KUALA LUMPUR: After facing defeat in the last two World Junior Championships, Malaysian badminton player Low Zi Yu finally has a chance to win the girls' doubles title. Zi Yu and her partner Genevie Lim reached their third consecutive final at the Cairo International Stadium, defeating China's Shi Si Chen and Xiang Yu Jin with a score of 15-9, 15-11. This win puts Zi Yu one step closer to securing the gold medal that has eluded her twice before.
Zi Yu had previously won silver medals in 2022 and 2023, each time partnering with different players. With a new partner in Genevie, Zi Yu aims to end her streak of final defeats and bring home the championship. Their semi-final win cemented their position as one of the favorites to clinch the title, as they will face either Japan's Nijika Kamata and Shizuku Kashio or South Korea's Choi Ye Da and Kim Min Chae in the final.
