Gotcha: Malaysia’s Goh Jin Wei returning a shot to Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi in the first round yesterday.

HAS Goh Jin Wei come of age? Perhaps yes after the 18-year-old national women’s singles ace sensationally defeated world No. 5 Akane Yamaguchi in the first round of the Perodua Malaysian Masters yesterday.

Jin Wei notched her first triumph over Yamaguchi after six meetings in emphatic fashion, winning 21-14, 21-12 in just 33 minutes.
