KUALA LUMPUR: Lim Chong King, the fifth-ranked men’s singles shuttler in the national team, does not look like a frontrunner for the Thomas Cup Finals berth. But the 20-year-old has vowed to fight tooth-and-nail to get his spot in the squad.

There are only four coveted spots in the team to the Aarhus Finals from Oct 3-11 and Chong King does not only have his teammates as rivals, he also needs to get the better of two independent players – Liew Daren and Soong Joo Ven.

But until the team list is finalised, Chong King will continue to fight.
