PETALING JAYA: National men’s singles shuttler Justin Hoh staged a gutsy fightback to book his place in the second round of the Asian Championships in Ningbo, China.

Justin, who came through the qualifying rounds, appeared nervous at first in his opening-round clash against South Korea’s Jeon Hyeok-jin. But the Kuala Lumpur-born shuttler kept his focus, stuck to his game plan and battled back to secure a dramatic 14-21, 22-20, 21-16 win.
