PETALING JAYA: With the lack of tournament opportunities, back-up shuttler Ng Tze Yong knows the importance of making the most of every chance he can get to impress the selectors for any national call-up. All-England champion Zii Jia and June Wei are a shoo-in barring any unforeseen circumstances. “Hopefully, it will help, ” said Tze Yong, when asked if he thinks his victory in Poland would increase his hopes for a possible Thomas Cup call-up. Besides the Thomas Cup Finals, the SEA Games will be another major event that Tze Yong has a shot at making his debut. Those who get picked have a tough task at hand – to defend the gold won by Zii Jia.
