PETALING JAYA: If there are fans who think Malaysia can just power through minnows Canada 5-0 in their Thomas Cup Finals opener today, they better think again. The Pan-American champions will be out to steal a point in the first singles as their teen prodigy Brian Yang appears to be on a roll since the Tokyo Olympics. “Against Canada I think Brian Yang will be a challenge, he had good performances recently,” Zii Jia told the Badminton World Federation’s official website. “I’ve been trying to simulate that in the training sessions with the Canadian team here and I think it’s been good. “I’ve been keeping my fitness level up, without dropping, and it’s kind of the key to keep this form.”
