Leung Bowls Over Bon Jovi Bong

#PSAWorldTour

Henry Leung was the only qualifier to make it through the first round of the Malaysian Tour Squash V, PSA M5 event after a huge upset of third seed Valentino Bon Jovi Bong.

The 20-year-old from Hong Kong had already caused two shocks in the qualifying draw but topped both of those wins by eliminating the Malaysian. Leung took a two-game lead and, despite a revival of sorts from Bon Jovi Bong in the third game, held firm to rise to a 11-5, 11-8, 6-11, 11-2 victory.

Leung is matched up with Elvinn Keo in the next round after the World No.161 romped to victory against Ampandi Muhammad Aqif to progress.

Addeen Idrakie will meet Cheuk Yan Tang after the pair saw off Muhammad Shoaib Hassan and David Clegg, respectively while Chi Him Wong overcame Tsun Hei Yuen to set up a clash with Basem Makrem after the Egyptian bested Ravi Dixit.

Ahmad Al-Saraj will also participate in the quarter-final after victory over Mohd Farez Izwan and will face Mohd Syafiq Kamal who dispatched Ranvijay Singh.
