Hong Kong squash team score four bronze medals, 'but need to work harder': coach
Tony Choi believes his players could have achieved much more than their targeted tally
Squash reached their target of clinching four medals at the Asian Games, but they must learn how to cope with the pressure at major Games if they want to improve their result in future, said head coach Tony Choi Yuk-kwan.
Choil was speaking after Hong Kong's defeat by Malaysia in the men’s team semi-final last night at the Yeorumul Squash Courts.
Malaysia won 2-0 in the best-of-three tie, with Adnan Mohd beating Au Chun-ming 3-1, while Mohd's teammate defeated Max Lee Ho-yin.
The players still need more time to sharpen their mental skills before they come back again
India face Malaysia in the final.
Earlier in the morning, the women’s team suffered the same results in their semi-final against the Malaysians.
Joey Chan Ho-ling lost 3-0 to Low Wee-wern while Annie Au Wing-chi managed to win one game from world number one Nicol David before losing 3-1. The women’s team final also features Malaysia versus India.
Hong Kong collected two team bronze medals as there is no play-off for third.
