PETALING JAYA: The 11-point best-of-five (5x11) scoring system is definitely national shuttler Ho Yen Mei’s cup of tea.

The 20-year-old continued to thrive under the shorter scoring format when she stunned seventh seed Fitriani Fitriani of Indonesia 11-9, 15-13, 6-11, 11-6 to reach the second round of the women’s singles event in the Taiwan Masters in Taipei on Wednesday.
