Hendrawan uses his experience to lift Zii Jia up after Thailand failure


You can do it: Hendrawan has advised Lee Zii Jia to focus on the Olympic Games and not dwell on past failures.

PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles head coach Hendrawan has decided to share a low point in his badminton career to lift up the morale of national No. 1 Lee Zii Jia.

The 22-year-old Zii Jia is still down in the dumps after returning home from his outing in Thailand last month. He did not go beyond the quarter-finals in two Opens and failed to clear the group stage in the World Tour Finals.
