Dear readers and parents
Yes, the team has gotten over the disappointment of not winning a medal despite giving their best. Now they are concentrating on their individual events.
The story of the day must be Amos Yi's withdrawal from the singles as he is slightly injured. He had to decide whether to play singles and risk not being able to play his doubles games. He decided to give up his singles matches so that he can honour his obligations to his double's team mates. What an honourable gesture. I only found out about his singles' withdrawal after checking tournament software and speaking to his mum Touk Krei. Touk Krei told me that there was a family discussion with his dad who is in China. His dad wanted him to play his singles till he could not progress. That is the old traditional Chinese way? Fight to the end.
However Amos as I said considered his team mates and decided to honour his agreement.
That has turned out great as Edward and him managed to kick one of the top doubles pairs out after a tense 3 setter. They knocked out NNZ's top doubles pair P Ding and M Yep. I understand his mum was on the floor from the tension of watching the game.
Amos's games are below:
He continues his individual onslaught with Mixed partner Silvi after winning their first round.
Edward also continues to fare well. He has gone to the 3rd round after beating Ocampo and Pranav Rao. He will have his hands full against seeded 5/8 NNZ P Ding tomorrow. Wish him the best of luck.
His doubles fight continues with Amos.
He is also faring well in the mixed doubles with Julia after beating 2 teams.
Julia is having a great run in her singles. She progresses to the 3rd round but plays seeded 5/8 player Adriana Phan.
Her mixed doubles games are also going well with Edward.
Her doubles with Selena is also going well through to the 3rd round.
Silvi is not having much luck in her Singles and doubles. She is playing in the plate event for both categories after losing a 3 setter to Niamh Alley.
She remains in the hunt for mixed doubles glory with Amos.
Alex will have to contend with the plate event after losing her 3 matches. She has contributed so much as a team player and we wish her the best.
Titus is out of the singles after a close 3 setter against E Krstic in the 2nd round.
He is playing in the mixed doubles plate with Alex.
He remains in the doubles contention with Tyzton playing seeded 5/8 pair M Lee and W Liang.
Tyzton has been nursing injuries the whole day but he refuses to give up. He is through to the 3rd round after beating Clive Law in 3 sets. I was told he was in pain while playing his singles and Yuli and Annie were close to tears watching him play through his agony. He managed to win the 3rd set much to his mum's and Yuli's relief.
His doubles games with Titus have been much easier. However they play seeded 5/8 pairs W Laing and M Lee tomorrow morning.Hopefully he will recover physically by tomorrow.
He is also traveling well with mixed partner Joy Lai.
Phing continues with her singles campaign but is now out of doubles losing in the first round. She goes to the plate with Sanoja, her partner.
KJ progressed to the 2nd round of the singles but had to bow out after a closely fought 3 setter against A Phogat. KJ has shown determination, courage and humility throughout the games. Annie and Kay have been most complimentary of his manner and fighting attitude. Sok Teoh , his father must be so proud of how his son has performed in his first National competition representing WA. I am sure we will see more of KJ in other tournaments.
KJ and new partner Serena progress to round 3 and will play seeded 9/16 M Lee and and J Almazan tomorrow.
In his doubles with new partner D Blaga, I am not sure if he progresses to the plate.
Serena Lin is another player who has grown so much from this competition. She is through to round 3 with Julia. Both are of course playing in their first nationals and getting to round 3 in doubles is a great achievement.
She goes to the plates for singles.
She goes to the 3rd round with KJ in the mixed.

Oliver Hung Very well done!!! Best wishes for the individuals...
Hi
Ray,
Winning
is about sacrifice and pain! There is no victory without sacrifice and pain.
You are right about your children, they should know this principle since they
are young. Congratulations on their achievement in the competition!!
