CHENGDU: Despite low expectations from men’s singles camp heading to Thomas Cup 2024 in Chengdu, the Malaysian squad managed to prove their mettle after sweeping aside Hong Kong in the Group D opener here, today.

After professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia put Malaysia 1-0 ahead following a 21-18-21-18 straight set win over Lee Cheuk Yiu, all eyes focus on how well Leong Jun Hao and Justin Hoh would perform when they stepped into the court at the Chengdu High-Tech Zone Sports Centre.
