Raring to see action: A fit again Lee Zii Jia can’t wait to get into the fray at the French Open which will be played at the Adidas Arena which is also the venue for badminton during the Paris Olympic Games.

PETALING JAYA: Singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia is ready to soak in the pre-Olympic Games atmosphere at the Adidas Arena in Paris when he gets into action on the opening day of the French Open today.

The French Open has been brought forward earlier than its usual slot in October so that the organisers can test the venue, which will host the Olympic Games from July 26-Aug 11.
