PETALING JAYA: Today’s Thailand Masters quarter-finals between Lee Zii Jia and Alwi Farhan of Indonesia promises to be a fascinating contest, with more than just a place in the semi-finals at stake.

For Zii Jia, the match carries added significance as he faces his former coach, Indra Wijaya, who guided him in 2022 before their partnership ended on a sour note after just nine months.
