KUALA LUMPUR: Low Zi Yu continued her remarkable run at the World Junior Championships after securing a third consecutive girls' doubles medal, this time alongside Genevie Lim in Cairo today.
The second seeds lived up to their billing by sweeping aside Hong Kong's fifth seeds Au-Yeung Wing Chi-Chu Wing Chi 15-7, 15-7 in the quarter-finals to guarantee Malaysia at least a bronze medal.
The victory was also the perfect response from Zi Yu after she and Ahmad Redzuan Zulwaqqarizal suffered a painful exit in the mixed doubles last 16 earlier in the day.
The top seeds and reigning Asian junior champions had taken the opening game against South Korea's Jeon Seong Been-Kim Min Chae before eventually going down 11-15, 17-15, 15-13 in 39 minutes.
