June Wei following Chong Wei's path


Cheam June Wei will face Asian junior champion Soo Teck Zhi in the KL Open boys' singles in Division Two.

KUALA LUMPUR: Youngster Cheam June Wei and world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei have something significant in common – both were trained by the same coach, Teh Peng Huat in Penang, during their younger days.

While Chong Wei has gone on to make his name on the international stage, Singapore International Under-17 champion June Wei is just waiting in the wings to do the same.
