World Games: Hong Kong's Tomato Ho denied squash bronze, Cheung poised for wushu final
Hong Kong's Tomato Ho Tze-lok was unable to give the city its fifth medal at the World Games in Chengdu on Tuesday, as she was defeated in the women's squash bronze medal match.
Ho, who had gone so close to earning a place in the gold medal match in her narrow semi-final loss on Monday, could not lift herself again at the Hi-Tech Zone Sports Centre and was well beaten by Spain's Marta Dominguez.
Dominguez took a tightly contested first game 12-10, before dominating the second, which she won 11-5.
Ho did not lead at any point in the 37-minute match, and looked despondent as the match slipped away. She lost the third game 11-2, sealing a 3-0 victory for her opponent.

Summing up her day, when trailing 7-1 in the third game, Dominguez's racquet hit Ho's head, leaving her shaken and requiring a medical timeout to get it iced.
