[2] Paul Coll (Nzl) 3-0 [16] Eain Yow Ng (Mas) 11-6, 11-4, 11-3 (43m)
Solid as a rock from Paul Coll over the opening two games. The Kiwi is grinding Eain Yow Ng down with his relentless line hitting and incredible movement whenever the Malaysian plays into the front corners.
As a result, Eain Yow is being forced to reduce his margins, which has resulted in a few untimely errors at the end of energy-sapping rallies.
Paul : “I knew it was going to be a tough one tonight. I wanted to be really stingy out there today and give nothing away. No freebies. I just had that mindset. I knew that he might be a little bit tired from all of his games at the Asian Games.
“I’m really happy for Yow, he’s a top player and I’m pleased he won the Asian Games.
“I’m really excited to get to the Pyramids. I’m enjoying my week in Egypt, it’s one of the most spectacular venues and I really wanted to get there. I missed out last year, so I’m really pumped for that.
