KUALA LUMPUR: An unwell Lee Zii Jia crashed out of the Malaysian Masters after going down 19-21, 21-16, 15-21 to Taiwan’s Lin Chun-yi in the second round at Axiata Arena on Thursday (May 25).

Zii Jia had not been feeling well since returning from the Sudirman Cup in Suzhou last week and it was evident in his game against Chun-yi as he was struggling to keep pace with the Taiwanese. And the clever Chun-yi pressed home his advantage to get the win.
