Elton Liew plays through a fever

Elton Liew, 13, left with double bronze in U14 and U16 Boys' Doubles. He wrote that it was "one of the toughest tournaments" for him because he battled a high fever all day.

His doubles partner, his family and parents at the venue who checked on him and offered medicine kept him going. He thanked E23 Unbound, Coach Gee, Kitchen Blockers and Larrie Active for their support.
