PETALING JAYA: Malaysia's top boys' singles player Mohd Arif Abdul Latif capped his return to action with a straight-game win to reach the third round of the KLRC World Junior Championships at the Trusts Stadium in Auckland yesterday.
The top seeded Malaysian, who had a first-round bye, defeated the Czech Republic's Petr Hosek 21-7, 21-13. Arif will play against Australian Boris Ma today and the winner is likely to come up against South Korean Kim Sang-ra for a place in the quarter-finals.
