Eain Yow exits British Open, Sivasangari last Malaysian standing
KUALA LUMPUR: World No. 12 Ng Eain Yow suffered a shock second-round exit at the British Open in Birmingham on Sunday. The Asian champion, who received a first-round bye, went down 13-11, 11-5, 11-7 to world No. 14 Victor Crouin of France in 58 minutes. It was Eain Yow's first loss to the Frenchman in four meetings and a disappointing step back after reaching the quarter-finals last year. Malaysia's campaign in the women's category also took a hit, with Rachel Arnold, Aifa Azman and Ainaa Amani all bowing out in the first round. S. Sivasangari is now the sole Malaysian left in the tournament. She begins her campaign in the second round later today. Despite the early exit, national coach Ajaz Azmat saw positives in Eain Yow's performance. "Eain Yow fought really hard, but it just wasn't his day," said Ajaz. "The first game was very close, and he had chances to take it. But Crouin was just too good, especially in the crucial stages." Eain Yow will now shift focus to defending his title at the Asian Championships in Kuching, Sarawak, on June 17-21.

Malaysia's Noor Ainaa Amani Ampandi also bowed out after being outclassed 6-11, 7-11, 7-11 by England's Sarah-Jane Perry. Malaysia's only representative left in the tournament, S. Sivasangari, is set to begin her campaign against India's Ahanat Singh in the second round early tomorrow (June 3).

Sivasangari bows out of World Championships after quarter-final loss to Weaver
KUALA LUMPUR, May 16 — National women's squash ace S. Sivasangari's journey at the 2024-2025 World Championships came to an end after she lost 1-3 to home favourite Olivia Weaver in the quarter-finals in Chicago, the United States. In the 41-minute encounter at the Lakeshore Sport & Fitness, fourth seed Weaver produced a polished display to overcome seventh seed Sivasangari 11-3, 8-11, 11-4, 11-5. Sivasangari, 26, showed glimpses of her best, particularly in the second game, which she drew level, but Weaver raised her intensity and control to seal the win in four. With Sivasangari's exit, Malaysia no longer has any representation in the tournament after Ng Eain Yow also fell in the men's third round on May 13. Eain Yow was no match for world number one Mostafa Asal of Egypt, going down 0-3 (4-11, 6-11, 7-11) in 56 minutes Weaver now faces a major test in the semi-finals against seven-time world champion Nour El Sherbini of Egypt. — Bernama
