Liek Hou retains Para-international title

TOKYO Paralympics champion Cheah Liek Hou's unstoppable form continued when he successfully defended his Dubai Para-badminton International title.

Liek Hou, who won in Bahrain last week, beat Japan's Taiyo Imai 21-11, 21-19 in the men's singles SU5 final in just 34 minutes.

It was the Malaysian's eighth win over Imai, whom he has never lost to before.

With five more wins recorded from this week, Liek Hou extended his unbeaten streak to a whopping 52 matches.

Liek Hou enjoys a winning run dating back to October 2019 when he captured the Denmark Para Badminton International crown.

Hours later, Liek Hou made it a double when he combined with Muhammad Fareez Anuar to beat Indonesia's Suryo Nugroho-Dwi Putra 17-21, 21-15, 21-9 for the men's doubles crown.
