PETALING JAYA: National men's singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia's gallant run at the All-England has come to an end as he was eliminated in the semi-finals.
The 21-year-old gave second seed Viktor Axelsen of Denmark a run for his money before going down 21-17,13-21,19-21 in a pulsating battle that lasted 73 minutes at Arena Birmingham on Saturday (March 14).
Despite the defeat, it was still a remarkable feat for Zii Jia to have marched this far, considering he is only a debutant.
