: The country’s top men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia, believes that he has gained back his self confidence at the 2023 All England badminton championships.
Despite losing in the semi-finals last night, the world number four professional player, said the prestigious Super 1000 tournament proved to be his redemption after a series of inconsistent performances.“I had a tough opening this year and I doubted myself a lot over being such a high-ranked player. I doubted if I was going to become a top player again.
“I think I’ve proved it in this tournament, and yeah it was the semis but I will take it step by step. I believe I will get better and better,“ he told the tournament’s official website. Last night, Zii Jia, 24, lost 19-21, 13-21 to Shi Yu Qi of China in the All England semi-finals at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham.
Yu Qi will face compatriot Li Shi Feng, who ousted Denmark’s Anders Antonsen 21-11, 19-21, 21-18 last night, in the title decider today.Zii Jia has endured a dismal campaign so far this year, having been knocked out in the first round of the season-opening Malaysia Open and the second round of three other tournaments - the India Open, Indonesia Masters and most recently the German Open.
