With the victory, Zii Jia leads their head-to-head record 1-0, as the country’s top two men’s singles shuttlers have never played each other in international tournaments.
Hail the winner: Ng Tze Yong accepts his 21-17, 24-26, 19-21 defeat to Lee Zii Jia in the Australian Open quarter-finals.
Zii Jia did not start the way he wanted after dropping the first game but he remained composed and went toe-to-toe with Tze Yong before taking the second game 26-24 to force the decider. Tze Yong may have lost due to his inexperience but Datuk Tey Seu Bock was pleased with his performance. Reaching the last four in Australia was Zii Jia’s first semi-final appearance since the Swiss Open in March where he lost 11-21, 14-21 to Koki Watanabe of Japan.
