Game on – Pang Ron can’t wait for action against Thai pair


Tall order: Hoo Pang Ron and his partner Cheah Yee See are currently ranked 35th in the world.

PETALING JAYA: Mixed doubles shuttler Hoo Pang Ron believes it is a privilege to be among the first group of shuttlers to play in the World Tour after a long hiatus.

And the 22-year-old is hoping to justify his presence by putting up a strong showing with partner Cheah Yee See when they take on world No. 3 and local favourites Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai in the first round of the Yonex Thailand Open today.
