Eogene says first senior title a spark to fire him up for more
PETALING JAYA: It was relief for shuttler Eogene Ewe (pic) after ending his wait for a senior men's singles title in the Slovenian Open. Eogene fought hard to beat South Korea's Yoo Tae Bin 21-19, 12-21, 21-17 in an hour in Maribor on Sunday to clinch the International Series title. Although it was only a lower tier event, the breakthrough was still memorable for the 20-year-old, who is currently ranked No. 113 in the world. 'This win is memorable for me as it's my first title in a senior tournament. I wish more titles will follow this breakthrough,' said Eogene. 'I didn't think too much and just played my best here. I would like to say that this is a good start for me but I still need to focus and prepare for my next tournaments.' Eogene's previous best results were reaching the semi-finals in the International Challenge tournaments in Vietnam and at home last year. The youngster is looking to continue his good form when he competes next in the Austrian Open starting on Thursday. Meanwhile, reigning Malaysia Games (Sukma) champion Wong Ling Ching also won her first senior international crown in the women's singles by defeating Indonesia's Deswanti Nurtertiati 21-16, 21-15. The victory will come as a boost for Ling Ching after she initially decided to quit the sport and pursue her studies last November before reversing her decision and returning to the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM). The Sarawakian, who is currently ranked No. 100, will be eager to build on her encouraging showing and move up the ranks. FINAL RESULTS Men's singles: Eogene Ewe (Mas) bt Yoo Tae Bin (Kor) 21-19, 12-21, 21-17. Men's doubles: Huang Tsung-i-Ling Ting-yu (Tpe) bt Jonathan Gosal-Adrian Pratama (Ind) 27-25, 19-21, 21-17. Women's singles: Wong Ling Ching (Mas) bt Deswanti Nurtertiati (Ina) 21-16, 21-15. Women's doubles: Lin Chih-chun-Lin Wan-ching (Tpe) Malena Norrman-Xi Wei (Swe-Aus) 21-7, 21-14. Mixed doubles: Wu Guan-xun-Lee Chia-hsin (Tpe) bt Patra Harapan-Az Zahra Ditya (Ina) 21-19, 21-13.

Eogene and Ling Ching capture titles in Slovenia
Previous Next KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian shuttlers Eogene Ewe Eon and Wong Ling Ching won a title each at the Slovenia Open on Sunday. Eogene captured the men's singles title while Ling Ching bagged the women's singles title in the International Series-level tournament — their first senior achievements. World No. 113 Eogene beat South Korea's world No. 252 Yoo Tae Bin 21-19, 12-21, 21-17 in a hard-fought, hour-long final. The win came as a much-needed morale boost for Eogene, who suffered exits in five previous tournaments earlier this year. World No. 100 Ling Ching enjoyed a more straightforward path to her title, dispatching Indonesia's world No. 140 Deswanti Nurtertiati 21-16, 21-15 in just 38 minutes. The Sarawak Malaysia Games champion's Slovenia success is a vindication of her decision to resume her badminton career. Ling Ching left the national set-up in November to focus on her studies, but rejoined the Academy Badminton Malaysia earlier this year. Eogene and Ling Ching will next compete in the Austria Open — which begins on Thursday.
