Jawairiah earns Sea Games ticket

JAWARIAH Noordin will make her return to international tennis at the Indonesia Sea Games after winning a trial conducted by the Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia (LTAM) on Wednesday.
Jawairiah’s last international assignment was in last year’s Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Qualifiers, where Malaysia finished fourth in Division Two.
The Malaysia Games champion together with Si Yew Ming will compete under ‘Category A’ in the men’s and women’s singles and mixed doubles in Indonesia.
LTAM executive secretary Ibrahim Abu Bakar said the association will not be sending its other players for the Sea Games due to cost factor.
At the Laos Sea Games, Jawairiah led Malaysia to a bronze medal in the women’s team.
