SINGAPORE – The much-awaited Causeway derby between Singapore’s Loh Kean Yew and Malaysia’s Lee Zii Jia in the All England Open men’s singles round of 16 turned out to be a damp squib as the latter extended his superior head-to-head record to 7-2.

In the largely one-sided affair at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on March 14, world No. 10 Lee was in control as he charged to a 21-15, 21-12 win in 33 minutes.
