Zii Jia’s still a work in progress, says Hendrawan

Big scalp: Beating China's Shi Yuqi was one of Lee Zii Jia's Highlights.

MEN’S singles coach Hendrawan has called for patience from the Malaysian badminton fans, insisting that Lee Zii Jia remains a work in progress.

The 21-year-old enjoyed a fine start to the new season by reaching the semi-finals of the Perodua Malaysian Masters but was outclassed by world No. 1 Kento Momota of Japan on Saturday.
