Jun Hao's Msian Open Heartbreak

Jan 07, 2025

We have no more reps in the Malaysian badminton Open's Men's Singles. 

This is after Leong Jun Hao suffered a 3-sets defeat in the opening round to China's Lu Guang Zu.

For the record, Lu also handed Lee Zii Jia a first round exit in the tournament last year.

Several other local reps also suffered early exits today. 

They include the mixed doubles pairs of Tan Kian Meng/Lai Pei Jing and Hoo Pang Ron/Chen Su Yin.

Officials will continue to monitor his progress, to determine when he can return to action.

Meanwhile, AC Milan are said to be interested in signing Marcus Rashford on loan, but only if Man United agree to cover a portion of his wages.
