Zii Jia overcomes first hurdle at All England FMTNews FMTSports
KUALA LUMPUR: National shuttler Lee Zii Jia overcame his first hurdle at the 2023 All England Badminton Championships after beating Thailand’s Vietnam SEA Games gold medallist Sitthikom Thammasin 21-12, 21-15 in straight sets.
The 24-year-old, ranked 4th in the world, took just 33 minutes to sweep aside the Thai ace at the Birmingham Arena today. Zii Jia, the 2021 All England champion, will face either Kenta Nishimoto from Japan or Canada’s Brian Yang in the second round tomorrow. Since winning the Thailand Open in May last year, Zii Jia has not won a title, or not come close to moving past the second round.
Zii Jia’s 2023 season ended in the early stages in all four championships that he participated in, losing in the first round of the Malaysia Open and second round in the India Masters, Indonesia Masters and most recently, the German Open.
