HANGZHOU: Staging a magnificent comeback, national top men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia stunned reigning world champion Kunlavut Vitidsarn at the Binjiang Gymnasium here today, checking into the Hangzhou Asian Games quarter-final.
The world number 16 won 10-21, 21-19, 21-6 against the world number four to make amends for missing out on the last eight in the 2018 edition in Jakarta-Palembang, Indonesia.Despite a shaky start, Zii Jia regained his composure to win the second game, later dominating the decider to send Thailand’s first-ever men’s singles world champion packing.
“I knew that if I were to lose, it would have been the end for me. But, if the strategy worked, I would be able to overturn the situation,” Bernama reported Zii Jia as saying. Earlier, the national mixed doubles pair of Chen Tang Jie-Toh Ee Wei also advanced to the quarter-finals when they disposed of India’s Sai Pratheek-Tanisha Crasto 21-18, 21-18.
