WHILE all eyes are on the emergence of Woon Khe Wei-Vivian Hoo in the women’s doubles, Bukit Jalil Sports School duo Chow Mei Kuan-Lee Meng Yean are also fast making a name for themselves.
The 17-year-olds first shot into prominence when they won the KL Open – their first senior title – in April. They followed it up by winning the National Junior Circuit GP Finals and also made a fine run in the Asian Junior Championships, finishing as runners-up.
Mei Kuan-Meng Yean, who are competing in their first National Circuit Grand Prix Finals, put up an incredible performance to beat Lai Pei Jing-Marylen Ng 17-21, 21-14, 21-14 in their first Group A match yesterday. It was their first win over Pei Jing-Marylen, having lost to the pair in the Kedah Open in July.
Mei Kuan-Meng Yean are now virtually through to the semi-finals after crushing fellow junior pair Peak Yen Wei-Yap Rui Chen 21-10, 21-11 in just 21 minutes.
