Zii Jia plays it nice and slow to overcome Guangzu


Ample opportunity: Lee Zii Jia will play Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto in the quarter-finals of the China Masters today.

PETALING JAYA: A calm and calculated Lee Zii Jia remained as the sole Malaysian survivor in the China Masters after storming confidently into the quarter-finals in Shenzhen yesterday.

If local favourite Lu Guangzu was planning to secure a win in front of his home crowd in the second round, it was just not possible as Zii Jia pulled off an impressive 21-10, 21-12 victory in 40 minutes.
