Eain Yow aims to be on fire in Washington
KUALA LUMPUR: Ng Eain Yow is all fired up for the US$58,750 Squash on Fire Open which begins tomorrow in Washington after a boost in world ranking. The Malaysian moved up to a career best of world No. 10 yesterday. Asian champion Eain Yow is seeded second in the Washington event where he has a first round bye. His main challenge is expected to be against world No.16 Leonel Cardenas of Mexico in the semi-finals. In February, Eain Yow lost in straight games to Cardenas in the semi-finals of the Motor City Open in Detroit. The top seed is world No. 8 Marwan El Shorbagy of England. National chief coach Ajaz Azmat said Eain Yow is now much fitter and stronger in his game after training for a month in Bristol. "Eain Yow is all fired up to get the better of Cardenas this time. "He is motivated and looks confident after moving up to world No.10." National men's No. 2 Sanjay Jeeva and national women's No. 2 Rachel Arnold will also feature in the Squash on Fire Open. Yee Xin Ying rose a remarkable 12 rungs in her world ranking to 65th after she upset Egypt's world No. 44 Nadine Shahin and England's world No. 40 Lucy Beecroft to win the RC Pro Series in St Louis, the United States, earlier this month.
