Professional badminton player Lee Zii Jia has withdrawn from the Denmark Open, which starts on Tuesday, October 15.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) announced that Lee, ranked fifth in the world and a finalist last year, is absent from the tournament due to an ankle injury.
His condition worsened during last week’s quarterfinal match at the Arctic Open against Japan’s Koki Watanabe.
Lee Zii Jia was set to face Japanese player Kenta Nishimoto in the first round in Odense, but with his withdrawal, eighth seed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting from Indonesia has taken his place.
In the mixed doubles event, Malaysia’s Yap Roy King and Valeree Siow have also withdrawn from the competition.
Another major star missing from the World Tour 750 event is South Korea’s men’s doubles world champions Kim Min-seok and Seo Seung-jae.
