PETALING JAYA: National men’s singles shuttler Leong Jun Hao’s progress into the Spain Masters quarter-finals is a step in the right direction for the 24-year-old.

It is the first time the player from Kuala Lumpur has made it to the final in eight of his tournaments this year, and having only won seven out of 13 matches so far in 2024, he is surely looking to make it further in Madrid.
