Good combo: Aaron Tai (right) had captured the Malaysian and Italian Junior International Challenge titles with partner Kang Khai Xing.

PETALING JAYA: It’s rare for an athlete to share the same name as his or her idol but men’s doubles shuttler Aaron Tai is one of the few who can say that he does.

Aaron, who was promoted to the senior team last month, looks up to current national No. 1 Aaron Chia and hopes to follow in the latter’s footsteps.
