Shi Yuqi of China
KUALA LUMPUR: The ball is now in world No. 1 Shi Yuqi's court to end China’s five-year drought in the men’s singles at the Malaysian Open, following the shock early exit of two time champion Viktor Axelsen in the first round on Tuesday (Jan 7).
Fourth seed Axelsen was stunned by Hong Kong’s Lee Cheuk Yiu, who triumphed with a 17-21, 17-21.
