Myisha Mohd Kamarul grabbed the attention on the second day of the girls’ event of the 100PLUS National Junior Ranking Challenge 2020 when she sidestepped top seed Khor Jin Wen to wrest control of the standings in Group A.
The Johor-born lass had to fight tooth and nails against Jin Wen before she was able to overcome the latter 21-18, 22-24, 24-22 in a three-set thriller for Myisha to top Group A with the full three points after three matches.
“My opponent looked tired because she had also played three sets in the morning. So I took advantage of this opportunity to beat her,” said Myisha.
“I needed the win to improve my position because last year I was in second place. Overall, I still have a lot to do and where I will focus more at the next training session.”
Over in group B, it was Ong Xin Yee’s turn to lead the ranking order after collecting four points from four matches played.
But her position is by no means secure as closest challenger Siti Nurshuhaini Azman is in close second place with three points but having played one match less.
In Group C of the girls’ singles, Carmen Ting was in firm control with the full three points from three matches played as
Shaheena Shahidi leads Group D with the same three points from the same number of matches.
In the meantime, in the boys’ singles, Ong Zhen Yi’s patience was handsomely rewarded when he seized the lead from Ong Ken Yon, who fell to a 22-24, 10-21 loss to Jacky Kok Jing Hong in the afternoon session.
Zhen Yi had earlier maintained his unbeaten record with a 21-11, 21-13 victory over V. Poopathi.
“After the long break, I felt a bit awkward in the first match. I did not want to put pressure on myself where the aim was just to stay focus throughout,” said Ken Yon.
Eogene Eewe Eon continues to dominate the top spot in Group B of the boys’ event as he maintained his unbeaten record to collect the full four points from four matches played.
Just a point behind in second place was Muhd Adam Shah.
Lok Hong Quan topped group C while Lim Wei Hou led the standings in Group D.
In the boys’ doubles, Beh Chun Meng-Goh Boon Zhe showed their quality to win all three matches they have played so far where this afternoon, they overcame Choi Jian Sheng-Wong Vin Sean 21-17, 21-10.
Earlier in the morning, Chun Meng and Boon Zhe had fended off Kok Jia Cheng-Ooi Yi Hern duo in a three-set 21-14, 19-21, 21-7 bout.
Meanwhile, Cheng Su Yin-Goh Pei Kee took control of the girls’ doubles after seeing off Cheng Sui Hui-Xin Jie Lee 21-11, 21-13.
