PETALING JAYA: National squash ace Rachel Arnold remains determined to become Asia’s best despite falling short once again the Asian Championships final.

The stage was set for top seed Rachel to end the country’s 10-year wait for the Asian title but she went down 4-11, 12-10, 4-11, 0-11 in 36 minutes to Hong Kong’s Ho Tze Lok at the Sarawak Squash Centre in Kuching yesterday.
