It ain’t easy being on top


Honest outlook: Lee Zii Jia said that being the top seed and the No. 1 ranked player in the country does not mean winning the national title will be a shoo-in for him.

PETALING JAYA: Lee Zii Jia has refused to be drawn on talk that this is his best chance of becoming national champion for the first time.

The 20-year-old enters the Celcom Axiata National Championships buoyed by a good run of form recently that saw him attain a new status as the national No. 1.
