PETALING JAYA: You can’t keep a determined shuttler like Cheah Liek Hou (pic) down for long.
After failing to retain the world title in Basel, Switzerland, last month, the 31-year-old bounced back in style when he stormed into two finals — the men’s singles and doubles — at the Thailand Para-badminton International in Bangkok yesterday.
The duo ousted France-Turkey combination Meril Loquette-Ilker Tuzcu 21-18,21-10 to set up a final date with Thailand’s Watcharaphon Chok-Uthaikul-Pricha Somsiri today. “The last I tasted success was at the Uganda International where I won two titles in May last year. I’m hoping to repeat the feat and give myself something to cheer about after the Basel disappointment.“The same goes to the Thai pair, I think our past results will count for nothing as they have home-ground advantage.”
