SEREMBAN: Youngster Julia Wong showed true grit when she upset national shuttler K. Sugita to reach the women’s singles semi-finals in the Proton-EON National Grand Prix Finals at the Negri Sembilan Chinese Recreation Club (NSCRC) Hall here yesterday.
The 17-year-old Julia, who landed in the hospital due to dehydration after upsetting second seed Woon Sze Mei a day earlier, bounced back to eliminate Sugita 11-1, 8-11, 11-9 in another energy-sapping 40-minute battle to finish as runner-up in Group B.
