Yayuk to play mixed doubles

JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia's tennis queen Yayuk Basuki will play mixed doubles with Sulistyo Wibowo in the 18th Southeast Asian Games tennis competition.

The national team project officer, Wailan Walalangi, said after announcing the new combination on Friday that both seasoned players face no serious hurdles in earning Indonesia one of five tennis gold medals.

"Their big serves will help them win the gold medal," Wailan said. Yayuk used to team up with Suharyadi, who is now her husband, in mixed doubles matches. The solid duo capped their career with a gold medal in the 1990 Asian Games. (amd)
