PETALING JAYA: It was a good start for our juniors in their quest to repeat the five-title achievement in 2019 at the Asian Junior Squash Championships in Pattaya, Thailand.

Almost all the players in action won their opening matches, led by Under-15 top seed Altamis Aqhar Allam Sufian who beat Sri Lanka’s Kemitha Hapuarachchi 11-3, 11-2, 11-1 to reach the third round.
