Soundbite

'This year, the inter-school competition has changed its rules. The winners of matches before the final were decided by best-of-three games in the past, but now all matches are best of five. I scored a 3-0 quarter-final victory over Natalie Leung Sinn-ting from Heep Yunn School on Sunday,' Ka-yi says. 'I will face my Hong Kong teammate Ho Ka-po for a place in the final this Saturday. I expect a very tough match with her, possibly a five-set thriller. Both of us are playing our last tournament before we graduate, and we want to do our best in the match.
