All-Korean boys’ final in ATF tourney
THE KOREANS came to town looking to dominate and they are on their way to doing so as Chan Yeong Oh and Yun Seong Chung forged an all-Korean finals in the the boys’ division of the International Tennis Federation’s Asia 14 and Under Development Championships–Division I at the Rizal Memorial Tennis Center yesterday.
The top-seeded Oh survived a fierce first set challenge put up by fourth pick Ting Hui Zhang of China and hacked out a 7-5, 6-1 victory while Chung survived a tough first-set duel to shock No. 2 Tung Lin Wu of Chinese Taipei, 7-6 (4), 6-4 win.
In girls play, fifth-seed Cao Si Qi overpowered fellow Chinese Yan Qian Ting, 6-1, 6-1, to barge into the girls’ finals.
She will take on the winner of the other semis clash between Yue Nv Li of China-Prajala Yadlapalli of India being played at presstime. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
