Liaw defeats Lindsay for singles title

05/01/2002

SEA Games silver medallist Liaw Chen Yee beat Lindsay for the under-18
singles crown in the first leg of the SportExcel-MSN-Milo tennis at the
Jalan Duta courts yesterday.
Liaw then partnered Lindsay for the doubles gold.
No, it was not Lindsay Davenport, but Lindsay Woon. But watch out for
16-year-old Liaw because she has big plans, and is heading in the right
direction.
Liaw, who just scored 7As in the recent PMR examinations, hopes to
become as famous as her idol, Steffi Graf.
"Last year, I won the SportExcel Grand Finals and I am gunning for a
back-to-back win this year," said Liaw who is eying the Fed Cup in China
in March.
Back home, she wants to better her one gold (team), one silver (mixed-
doubles) and one bronze (singles) feat that she notched at the Penang
Malaysia Games.
"I will be competing in all three events again in the Sabah Malaysia
Games in September and hopefully, win three gold medals for Selangor this
time," said Liaw.
