Zii Jia still heading to World Tour Finals despite early exit in China


PETALING JAYA: Men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia (pic) looks to have secured his spot in the World Tour Finals in Hangzhou next month despite the first-round exit at the China Masters.

Zii Jia, who is sixth in the Race to Hangzhou, can breathe a sigh of relief as the two shuttlers below him, Japan’s Koki Watanabe and China’s Li Shifeng, also crashed out in the opening round in Shenzhen yesterday.
