Hong Yang knocks out Zii Jia in Australian Open championship FMTNews FMTSports
Lee Zii Jia advanced to the semifinals after beating compatriot Ng Tze Yong 17-21, 26-24, 21-19.
The world No 17 faced the setback as he went down 19-21, 21-13, 13-21 after an 81-minute battle against Weng Hong Yang of China at the Quaycentre Arena in Sydney. With Zii Jia’s defeat, the country’s challenge came to an end, as men’s doubles, reigning world champions Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik, were stunned 15-21, 17-21 by Lu Ching Yao-Yang Po Han of Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals yesterday.
Despite the setback, there’s hope for Zii Jia as this is the first time he was able to clear his first-round obstacle since his second-round exit in the Malaysia Masters in May.
