...before beating Crimson co-captain Dan Nguyen in three sets in the quarterfinal, Wong was a thorn in Harvard’s side.

One BBC journalist asked: "What on earth do you propose as a 19-year-old who has hardly lived in the country, what do you propose you can offer Pakistan, a country of 170 million people...
