KUALA LUMPUR: Singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia’s recent Europe swing had its ups and downs but it was the manner he had handled himself through it all that won the praise of his coach Wong Tat Meng.

Zii Jia started strongly by winning the Arctic Open in Finland, his first title in 17 months after the success at the 2022 Thailand Open. Then he went on to finish second in the Denmark Open in Odense but crashed out in the second round of the French Open in Paris.
