Thai-tanic challenge awaits Tze Yong in his comeback tourney at Asian meet

First test: Ng Tze Yong has been out of action for more than a year following two back surgeries.

PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles shuttler Ng Tze Yong faces a tough opening task against Thailand’s reigning world champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the Asian Championships from April 8-13 in Ningbo, China.

Tze Yong will be making his long awaited comeback in the tournament, which is equivalent to a World Tour Super 1000 event after he was sidelined for more than a year following two back surgeries.
