PETALING JAYA: It’s a good start but there is still a long way to go.
That’s national men’s singles coaching director Wong Choong Hann reminder to debutant Ng Tze Yong after his impressive first-round win in the All-England.
While pleased with his charge’s strong showing, Choong Hann does not want Tze Yong to get carried away.“But we don’t want to get too excited as there are still more matches for him.Choong Hann’s caution is understandable as Tze Yong faces a tough hurdle in the form of Denmark’s world No. 1 and defending champion Viktor Axelsen in the second round today.
Tze Yong has his work cut out for him as Axelsen has set his sights on capturing what will be his third All-England crown.“The All-England is the most legendary tournament there is and I had been dreaming of winning it for a long time,” said Axelsen in a post-match interview with Badminton Europe.“I’m going for the win again this year but I’m really rational about everything and I know it’s really tough to win here.
World No. 8 Yew Sin-Ee Yi showed great determination and fighting spirit to come from behind to chalk up a 12-21, 21-16, 21-18 victory over the Taiwanese pair.
