Also making the country proud were Ikhwan Ramli and Noor Azwan Noorlan, who clinched their breakthrough titles in the WH1 (wheelchair) men’s singles and WH2 (wheelchair) men’s singles respectively. For Liek Hou, it was a superb win in what could be the preview of his Tokyo Paralympics gold medal duel with Dheva this August. “I’m just too tired to celebrate for now, it was a crazy battle, ” said Liek Hou after the energy-sapping 69-minute thriller. Liek Hou was also delighted that he overcame another Indonesian – world No. Unfortunately, Didin Taresoh fell short in making it a quadruple joy for Malaysia when he lost the SH6 men’s singles final 17-21,18-21 to India’s world No.
