PETALING JAYA: Back-up shuttler Ng Tze Yong is set for his maiden World Tour start after securing a place in the main draw of the Spain Masters in Huelva from May 18-23 – thanks to a spate of late withdrawals. It will be an opportunity Tze Yong would want capitalise on as he has been limited to playing in lower tier tournaments previously due to this low ranking. Tze Yong will be aiming to build on the sixth-tier Polish Open victory last month, which helped him climb 30 rungs to No. Shesar will surely head to Huelva as the man to beat after two worthy rivals – India’s Lakhsya Sen (No. 40) – had opted to skip the Spain Masters to participate in the Malaysian Open from May 25-30.
