In the absence of Goh Jin Wei, women’s singles badminton player Tan Zhing Yi will be able to spring a surprise for Penang in Sukma.
Before Jin Wei decided to withdraw from the game, she was in a hotspot for getting the gold medal in the game. But with her decision to withdraw from the competition to participate in the India International Challenge, Zhing Yi will have a larger chance of winning the gold medal.
Zhing Yi Should Be Able To Produce An Unexpected Result In The Match
The team manager, Razlan Rajan Abdullah is optimistic that she will be able to produce an unexpected result.
Zhing Yi is seeded fourth in this competition, and Razlan said he believed she could reach at least the semi-finals.
Zhing Yi has gained valuable experiences in the Asian Championships and Uber Cup. She should be able to play more experienced in Sukma.
Razlan is also banking on men’s single, Lee Shun Yang and mixed doubles pair Chong Hon Jian and Teoh Lexuan.
Shun Yang will be facing a battle to retain the gold medal won by Tan Jia Wei in 2018. Shung Yang could be left to battle it for second and third place.
