PETALING JAYA: While some view the draw for the Asian Championships in Ningbo from April 7-12 as a tough one for the men’s singles squad, national singles coaching director Kenneth Jonassen prefers to see the glass as half full.

The Dane believes the tournament provides the right platform to assess how far his charges, Leong Jun Hao and Justin Hoh, have progressed as they gear up for the Thomas Cup in Horsens at the end of April.
