YOUNGSTER Low Wee Wern bravely and successively shouldered the heavy responsibility of having to win the crucial opening match for Malaysia in the women’s team squash final against Hong Kong at the Asian Games Town Gymnasium yesterday.
And she did not let the country down by beating Rebecca Chiu 11-4, 7-11, 11-6,11-9 in 54 minutes to effectively hand Malaysia the gold medal.
World No. 1 and three-time Asian Games champion Nicol David, as expected, sealed the tie with a match to spare – beating Annie Au 11-8, 11-7, 11-6 in 33 minutes.
The 2-0 win was sweet revenge over Hong Kong, who defeated Malaysia in the semi-finals of the Asian Championships in Chennai in May.
