Justin crashes out in second round of Asian Championships


PETALING JAYA: Justin Hoh's spirited run at the Asian Championships came to an end after the young national shuttler fell to defending champion Jonatan Christie in the second round on Thursday (April 10).

The 20-year-old, who was Malaysia’s sole representative in the men’s singles event, had gone into the match on a high after a gritty win over South Korea’s Jeon Hyeok-jin on Wednesday.

Despite putting up a strong fight, the world No. 4 from Indonesia proved a class above as he used his experience to outplay Justin 21-13, 21-19 in 46 minutes.
