Lee Zii Jia Seeks Revenge in 2-Point Defeat Rematch

Lee Zii Jia will face off against Koki Watanabe in the quarterfinals for a much-anticipated rematch. In today’s round of 16 at the Arctic Badminton Super 500 tournament, world No. 14 Koki Watanabe comfortably defeated China’s Lu Guangzu 21-11, 21-13, advancing to the quarterfinals where he will meet Lee Zii Jia. This win marked Watanabe’s first victory over Lu in their three encounters. Earlier, Malaysian men’s singles player Lee Zii Jia also cruised into the quarterfinals, defeating another Japanese player, Yushi Tanaka, in straight sets.


Last month, in the China Open (Super 1000), Lee Zii Jia suffered a crushing defeat to Watanabe 15-21, 2-21, marking his second consecutive loss to the Japanese star. Now, as they meet again, will Lee Zii Jia exact revenge or will Koki Watanabe secure another victory? All eyes are on this battle.
