Spain is perhaps the 2023 Asia Championships silver medallist’s lucky hunting ground. It was in the Spanish city of Huelva he became world champion in December 2021, a few weeks after last topping a World Tour podium at the then Super 500 HLYO Open.
The Singaporean was runner-up at three events post that – India Open 2022, Korea Open 2023 and Thailand Masters 2024 – before finally getting over the line against Frenchman Toma Junior Popov.
