After breezing through his match with Frenchman Brice Leverdez, winning under 35 minutes with a score of 21-17, 21-5, Lee Zi Jia faces a daunting opponent now. In a match set to happen at 6.15pm (time subject to change) today (29 July), Lee Zii Jia will be meeting 2016 Rio Olympics gold medal winner, Chen Long.
Malaysians will remember Chen Long as the player who defeated Datuk Lee Chong Wei for the gold medal in 2016. Zii Jia told The Star that he is looking forward to his fifth duel with Chen Long.
“I can’t wait to play him tomorrow, I’m quite curious to see how he will play after his long absence from competition prior to the Olympics.”
Zii Jia added that he’s looking forward to a lengthy battle with Chen Long especially considering this is their fifth duel together, the last being the quarter-finals at the All-England Open 16 months ago.
You can watch the match on Astro Arena channel 801, or Astro On The Go!
We wish both players the best of luck and a special message to Lee Zi Jia, no matter what happened out there, the whole of Malaysia is proud of you!
