Liek Hou counting on Fareez to lighten his burden

Let the show begin: Cheah Liek Hou, who will be going all out to retain his title at the Paralympics, posing upon his arrival in Paris.

PETALING JAYA: Cheah Liek Hou won’t be a ‘’lone ranger’’ in his title defence at the Paris Paralympics as Fareez Anuar will also be doing battle for a place in the semi-finals when the SU5 men’s singles competition smashes off at the Port de la Chapelle today.

Fareez, 28, will be making his debut and has made a rapid rise this year to occupy the ranking of world No. 4 and is seen as an ideal foil for defending champion and world No. 1 Liek Hou.
