National table tennis players Miguel Wong and Chelsea Edghill exited the ongoing Portugal Open, in Lisbon earlier in the week.
Wong was stopped by Nigerian Taiwo Mati 4-0 on the opening day in the men’s singles category on Wednesday last. He lost the first set 5-11 before putting up a much better showing in the second set which he surrendered 16-18 before dropping the next two sets 4-11, 1-11.
He recently participated in the German open where he also had a first-round exit.
Edghill, too, bowed out gracefully after her participation in the tournament ended prematurely at the hands of Sweden’s Filippa Bergand 4-1 on Thursday. The former Caribbean under – 21 champ dropped the first two sets 6-11, 8-11 but pulled one back by winning the third 11-6. However, the Guyanese dropped the next two 11-5, 11-6 to end aspirations.
