Zii Jia proves his earlier shock defeat to Taiwan’s Chia-hao just a blip


PETALING JAYA: Independent men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia proved that his shock defeat to Taiwan’s Lee Chia-hao in the second round of the German Open a fortnight ago was just a blip.

The Malaysian looks to have put the loss to world No. 42 Chia-hao well and truly behind him after claiming a comprehensive 21-12, 21-17 win over the same opponent in a rematch in the quarter-finals of the Swiss Open in Basel on Friday.
