KUCHING: Sarawak’s very own young tennis star, nine-year-old Yoshi Kho, has made headlines by clinching the under-10 boys singles title at the just-concluded TennisMalaysia Junior Tour SportExcel Leg 3 in Melaka.
In the final match, Yoshi faced off against the formidable Mak Zoo-M of Selangor in a gruelling match that went down to the wire.
However, Yoshi managed to emerge victorious with a score of 4-1 5-4(9-7), earning his first big win and cementing his status as one of Malaysia’s most promising young tennis talents.
Yoshi, a student at SJKC Stampin Kuching, has been playing tennis competitively for the past three years and has already shown remarkable potential at such a young age.
Despite being one of the youngest players in the tournament, Yoshi managed to defeat most of his opponents, many of whom were a year older than him.
This is not the first time that Yoshi has caught the attention of the TennisMalaysia world.In the
earlier leg of the TennisMalaysia Junior Tour SportExcel, held in Johor Bahru from February 28 to March 5, 2023, Yoshi managed to reach the finals but lost to the same player, Mak Zoo-M of Selangor.
Nevertheless, Yoshi’s impressive performance in both tournaments has made him a rising star to watch out for in the future.
