The tournament held at Extreme Sports Centre at Sunway South Quay saw a heated men’s final match as Chua took the first set 21- 19. Yap came back strong to take the second and third set with 22 – 21 and 22-17 respectively.

“The game was not easy. I am quite happy I won. But I feel I still need to improve my game,” said Yap.

Meanwhile, Business student Chong Wei Li won the women’s singles title after beating fellow Taylorian Joyce Lim in straight sets. Although Lim put up an entertaining fight in the first set losing only 18-21, Chong ensured an easy win by taking the second set 20-16.

“I am happy I won, but I expected more players to compete,” said a smiling Chong.
