There’s just no keeping Wee Wern down

HAVING torn her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in April, it appeared to be all doom and gloom for national squash player Low Wee Wern.
The 25-year-old, who reached a career high world ranking of No. 5 in October last year, required surgery and was out for eight months.
Wee Wern, now 25th in the world, is back on her feet and showing signs of ‘life’ once again. She made a return in November at the Nationals and lost in the final to Delia Arnold and at the Hong Kong Open a month later, she reached the second round.
With these positive signs, Wee Wern is now aiming to make a full recovery by February.
She took time out from her daily rehabilitation programme to speak with Starsport regarding her comeback trail.

Starsport: You’ve been out a really long time. Can you talk us through how it affected you for the past few months?
