Blood was oozing from his face after a mishap during the match but Ee Yi did not give up play. The unfortunate incident happened in the rubber game when Yew Sin’s left leg caught Ee Yi in the face while both dived to save a shot at the baseline. The 26-year-old Ee Yi was on the floor with blood gushing from his chin but the excruciating pain did not knock him out. Ee Yi, who received six stitches for the deep cut, played down the incident. “It (the injury) looked horrible but it’s no big deal,” said Ee Yi.
