DEFENDING champion Cheah Liek Hou was in top form while his understudy Fareez Anuar was equally on fire as they cleared their opening-round matches in the Paralympics in Paris.

World No. 1 and top seed Liek Hou didn’t face any trouble as he secured a comprehensive 21-10, 21-6 win over Bartlomiej Mroz of Poland in a 26-minute Group A clash of the SU5 men’s singles event at the Adidas Arena yesterday.
