Medan before maiden Asiad

Raw talent: Letshanaa is short of big match exposure before playing against the world’s best at the Asian Games.

PETALING JAYA: The Indonesia Masters, which begins in Medan tomorrow, will be a good testing ground for women’s singles shuttler K. Letshanaa before she competes in the first major event in her career – the Asian Games in Hangzhou (Sept 23-Oct 8).

Letshanaa, 20, has only played in one super 500 event this year, which is the Korean Open in Yeosu three months ago, and will be short of big match exposure before playing against the world’s best at the Asian Games.
