KUCHING, Aug 15: Eleven-year-old tennis prodigy Yoshi Kho from SJKC Stampin, Kuching, showcased an outstanding performance by sweeping two titles at the Kejohanan Tenis Majlis Sukan Sekolah Sarawak (MSSS) 2025 held in Bintulu from Aug 10 to 15.
Kho dominated the Under-12 Boys Singles category, defeating Bintulu’s Jovian Kallang 6-2, 6-0 in the final with his aggressive strokes and consistent play, leaving his opponent few opportunities to respond.
In the doubles event, Kho paired up with Kuching teammate Hou Ben Yee to overpower Miri’s duo Carson Kuek and Lucas Ha with a convincing 6-3, 6-1 victory, securing another gold medal.
The double triumph came just days after Kho’s strong showing at the Tennis Malaysia Junior Tour SportExcel 2025 Leg 4 in Melaka (Aug 5–9), where he partnered Penang’s Mason Jairus to capture the Under-12 Doubles title and reached the singles semifinals, proving his ability to compete among the country’s best juniors.
Expressing gratitude for his success, Kho in a press release, credited his school, particularly headmistress Chong Siew Fong, for continuous encouragement, as well as his coaches, parents and friends for their unwavering support.
He also acknowledged the PTMS-MTS partnership training programme, which played a crucial role in his preparation and recent achievements. — DayakDaily
