KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian shuttlers Eogene Ewe Eon and Wong Ling Ching won a title each at the Slovenia Open on Sunday.
Eogene captured the men's singles title while Ling Ching bagged the women's singles title in the International Series-level tournament — their first senior achievements.
World No. 113 Eogene beat South Korea's world No. 252 Yoo Tae Bin 21-19, 12-21, 21-17 in a hard-fought, hour-long final.
The win came as a much-needed morale boost for Eogene, who suffered exits in five previous tournaments earlier this year.
World No. 100 Ling Ching enjoyed a more straightforward path to her title, dispatching Indonesia's world No. 140 Deswanti Nurtertiati 21-16, 21-15 in just 38 minutes.
The Sarawak Malaysia Games champion's Slovenia success is a vindication of her decision to resume her badminton career.
Ling Ching left the national set-up in November to focus on her studies, but rejoined the Academy Badminton Malaysia earlier this year.
Eogene and Ling Ching will next compete in the Austria Open — which begins on Thursday.
