PETALING JAYA: Lee Zii Jia can afford to smile after reaching the All-England quarter-finals.

The world No. 4 disposed off world No. 15 Kenta Nishimoto of Japan 21-15, 21-10 in the men's singles second round in Birmingham to set-up a match against another Japanese Kodai Naraoka. He has lost to his younger opponent Naraoka in the Malaysian Open in January and will be hoping to exact revenge.
