Yow Ng Bounces Back After Budapest Beating

Malaysian World No.18 Eain Yow Ng put last week’s disappointing performances at last week’s Budapest Open behind him with a convincing victory over Englishman Patrick Rooney as men’s action got under way at Coolhurst.

The 28-year-old suffered a quarter-final exit to Velavan Senthilkumar in Hungary despite being seeded at No.1, but he looks to have put that setback behind him after a storming win against Rooney in their best-of-three tie.

Here’s what Yow Ng had to say:

“I had to bounce back this week, but I’m happy with how I did after last week’s disappointment. I went in with a clear purpose and was aggressive from the get go.

“I’ve put in so much work and I know what needs to be done, I have to trust that I can get on court and execute what I can. Ranking-wise, I’m trying to get closer to the top 10 guys again, but there is so much quality in the top 25 these days.

“I’m focused on trying to improve my squash and bring myself back to where I know I can play.”

Results:

Eain Yow Ng (MAS) bt Patrick Rooney (ENG) 2-0: 11-3, 11-2 (16m)

Noor Zaman (PAK) bt Raphael Kandra (GER) 2-0: 11-3, 11-7 (16m)
