PETALING JAYA: National No. 2 Ivan Yuen looks to have recaptured his old form as he knocked out top seed Max Lee in the first round of the US$25,000 (RM102,000) HKFC International squash championships in Hong Kong.

The 25-year-old Ivan had played poorly in Malaysia’s campaign at the Asian Team Championships two weeks ago. Despite being the team’s skipper, he lost three matches as Malaysia crashed out in the quarter-finals.
