Zii Jia gets timely boost ahead of French Open campaign


PETALING JAYA: Lee Zii Jia (pic) has moved to a career high world No. 2 spot but Kento Momota of Japan continues to spiral down in the world rankings and his absence from the world circuit may make the situation worse.

Zii Jia, who reached the Denmark Open final before losing to Shi Yuqi of China on Sunday, moved one rung to second spot in the latest list released by the Badminton World Federation (BWF) yesterday.
