‘Net gains’ needed for Zii Jia after loss to Naraoka


PETALING JAYA: It’s not only a lack of patience but men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia (pic) also needs to improve his net game to fast-track his progress.

Yesterday, Zii Jia got off to an explosive start but did not have the strong finish to snuff out the fire in Kodai Naraoka of Japan as the Malaysian went down 21-13, 9-21, 16-21 in the quarter-finals of the Indian Open at the K.D. Jadhav Indoor Hall in New Delhi yesterday.
