Soh takes the heat


Too much of a stretch: Wooi Yik did not want to use his poor condition as an excuse but says that he takes full responsibility for the 12-21, 14-21 defeat to world No. 3 Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang in the China Open final.

PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Soh Wooi Yik’s honesty can go a long way.

Wooi Yik and partner Aaron Chia went down tamely in the China Open and the manner in which they lost has surprised many but the former revealed that he had high fever while playing in the final on Sunday.
