BINTULU: Young tennis star Yoshi Kho, an 11-year-old student of SJKC Stampin, continues to shine as he captured both the Under-12 Boys’ Singles and Doubles titles at the Sarawak Schools Sports Council (MSSS) Tennis Championship 2025, held from August 10 to 15.
In their statement, the organisers said Yoshi displayed commanding form in the singles category, defeating Bintulu’s Jovian Kallang 6-2, 6-0 in the final.
“His aggressive play and consistency left his opponent with few chances, cementing his position as Sarawak’s best junior player in the category this year.
“In the doubles event, Yoshi teamed up with Kuching’s Hou Ben Yee, and together they overpowered Miri’s Carson Kuek and Lucas Ha, winning convincingly 6-3, 6-1 to secure another gold medal,” the statement added.
The double triumph in Bintulu came just days after Yoshi’s strong showing at the Tennis Malaysia Junior Tour SportExcel 2025 Leg 4 in Melaka, held from August 5 to 9.
“There, he partnered Penang’s Mason Jairus to win the Under-12 Doubles title, while also reaching the semi-finals in singles, proving his ability to compete against the country’s best juniors,” the statement read.
Yoshi credited his school, SJKC Stampin, and particularly its headmistress, Chong Siew Fong, for their continuous encouragement, along with the guidance of his coaches and the support of his parents and friends.
His preparation has also been strengthened through the PTMS-MTS partnership training programme, which has played an important role in his recent achievements.
