PETALING JAYA: National squash player Aira Azman is the only remaining Malaysian at the El Gouna International but she is worried her body might not be up for the tough challenge to see her through to the next round.

Aira made her way into the third round of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) Platinum level event after defeating Georgia Adderley of Scotland 11-7, 8-11, 6-11, 14-12, 11-9 in the second round on Saturday.
