World number 144th player Ng Eain Yow became the second Malaysian to lift the world junior squash title after emerging victorious in the tournament held in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, late Thursday (early Friday, Malaysian time).

Eain Yow who is the second seed, put up a splendid performance by pulling off an upset against the top seed, Saadeldin Abouaish of Egypt, winning 11-3, 9-11, 11-7 and 11-5 in the final match of the boys category which lasted about 54 minutes, according to the tournament website, www.wsfworldjuniors.org.

The victory made up his disappointment after losing in the semifinals to Diego Elias of Peru who went on to capture his second consecutive world junior title, last year in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

For the record, former international Ong Beng Hee became the first Malaysian to win the World Junior title back in 1998 when the championship was held in the United States.

Eain Yow will now lead the country's challenge in the team event later today, where Malaysia are drawn in Pool F alongside South Africa, Spain and also the United States.

Earlier, world number five and the top seed, Nouran Gohar of Egypt lived up to the billings after edging teammate Rowan El Araby, 11-5; 11-6; and 11-7, thus defending the girls category title she won last year in Eindhoven, Netherlands.
