Ng Tze Yong in action during the second men's singles match against Leong Jun Hao in the President's Cup
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.
With as many as seven players removing their entries from the men’s singles event including Malaysia’s Soong Joo Ven before the draw was conducted on Tuesday, the 20-year-old Tze Yong catapulted from fifth in the waiting list into the top-32 draw.
