KUALA LUMPUR: National men’s doubles pair Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi hope to build on their inclusion in the recent Thomas Cup Finals squad as they aim to break into the top 50 in world ranking by the end of the year.

Yew Sin-Ee Yi played no part in Malaysia’s run to the semi-finals of the biennial team competition in Kunshan, China, last week. But the pair believe that they learned a lot by just watching from the stands.
