PETALING JAYA: Promising men’s singles star Ng Tze Yong and Co marched into the quarter-finals of the Indian Open on a day when the tournament was reduced further in strength following more withdrawals due to Covid-19 cases.

The 21-year-old Tze Yong huffed and puffed for one hour and 17 minutes to beat Lucas Claerbout of France 20-22, 21-15, 21-18 in the second round and will take on Nhat Nguyen of Ireland for a place in the semi-finals next.
