Hao Sheng looks to 'upgrade' Sea Games medal collection
KUALA LUMPUR: National tennis team stalwart Koay Hao Sheng is hoping he can reunite with doubles partner Mitsuki Leong and make it to the deciding rounds at the Thailand Sea Games (Dec 9-20) this year. Mitsuki and Hao Sheng claimed bronze in the men's doubles at the 2023 Phnom Penh Sea Games. The duo also won bronze in the men's team event together with Christian Liew. Hao Sheng was also part of the men's team that won bronze at the 2021 Hanoi Sea Games. "I have won three bronzes during the last two editions of the Sea Games in Hanoi (2021) and Phnom Penh (2023)," said Hao Sheng recently. "I am definitely hoping to win a better colour medal this time. It won't be easy but I will definitely try my best. "It would be great to partner Mitsuki again. I believe the association (Tennis Malaysia) is still trying to secure him for the games. "Hopefully they can come to an agreement." Hao Sheng recently led the national squad to promotion in the Davis Cup Asia-Oceania Group IV competition in Kuala Lumpur together with Darrshan Kumar, Daniel Prickett, Leroy Yong and Naufal Kamaruzzaman. Hao Sheng, 27, who was the most senior player in the squad, won all four of his matches, dropping only one set throughout the tournament. Mitsuki did not feature in the Davis Cup as he has been focusing on improving his singles rankings on the ATP Tour. The 20-year-old hit a career No. 605 last month, the highest a Malaysian player has achieved in decades.
