PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Choong Hon Jian will get a rare opportunity to focus solely on the men’s doubles with Mohd Haikal Nazri in the back-to-back Orleans Masters and Swiss Open.

Hon Jian, who usually competes in the mixed doubles as well with Go Pei Kee, will only see action in one event in the European tourneys as the latter has been entered for the China Masters (March 19-24), which clashes with the Swiss tourney.
