Ratchanok Intanon moved a step closer to claiming her third Malaysia Masters title after reaching the semi-finals of the US$475,000 BWF World Tour Super 500 event in KL Sports City in Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.

Thai ace Ratchanok rises from the brink

Sixth seed Ratchanok, a quarter-finalist at the Thailand Open last week, battled past Canada’s Michelle Li 24-26, 24-22, 21-12 in an hour and 17 minutes.

Ratchanok has a certain affinity with the Axiata Arena having also previously lifted the Malaysian Open titles twice.

She used that to her advantage when it mattered most, saving four match points in the second game before eventually pulling away in the third.

"I really enjoy playing in Malaysia. It feels like my second home because I have so many Malaysian and international fans here supporting me," said Ratchanok.
