Our junior shuttlers shine in Holland

It was a good day for the Malaysian boys’ singles players in the Dutch Junior International when all four made it to the fourth round.
Top seed Soong Joo Ven, who is eyeing for his first junior title this year, has a good chance to make the quarter-finals when he plays Tanguy Citron of France next.
The other three – Cheam June Wei, Soo Teck Zhi and Lim Chi Wing – will have a hard fight in their hands.
June Wei will take on joint fifth-eighth seed Mark Caljouw of France; Teck Zhi will meet Thailand’s Thanadol Jumpanoi; and Chi Wing, who received a walkover from second seed Matthias Almer of Austria, will face England’s Michael Roe.
Top national girl shuttler Ho Yen Mei can thank her lucky stars for breezing into the fourth round without breaking sweat after receiving byes and walkovers.
The ninth-11th seeded Yen Mei will take on the winner of the match between Kirtsen van der Valk of Holland and Jessica Pugh of England.
Malaysia’s challenge in the mixed doubles also progressed smoothly when all four pairs – Darren Issac Devadass-Joyce Wai Chi Choong, Ong Yew Sin-S. Kisona, Chua Kek Whei-Yap Cheng Wen and Woon Moon Chun-Yen Mei – advanced to the fourth round.
