Yow Ng Sails Through To Semis With Strong Performance

Malaysia’s Eain Yow Ng progressed to the semi-finals after a convincing win over India’s Velavan Senthilkumar.

The first game saw both players stay close in scoring. A forehead drive that died in the back right corner from the Malaysian pushed the game to 4-5, and it Yow Ng that got the better of the game from there. Every long, attritional rally saw Senthilkumar make an error trying to force attacking shots, and the Malaysian pushed on to win the first game 11-7.

Yow Ng remained on top in the second game, and the Indian continued to leak errors at crucial moments to extend the No.4 seed’s lead as he won 11-6 to take a 2-0 advantage.

The third game played out in a very similar manner. The Malaysian controlled the tempo of the match and a combination of quality shot-making from Yow Ng and mistakes from Senthilkumar gave the World No.22 the match 3-0 to set up a semi-final clash with the winner between Joel Makin and Timothy Brownell.

“It’s always been a close affair [between us],” said Yow Ng after the match. “For some reason, every time he upsets a few players to get to me.

“It’s getting tougher every time, but I also know my strengths, I know I can hang in there, play the big points better, and I think it showed in the first and second games.

“I’m just happy to get through in three today.”
