PETALING JAYA: After a 10-month wait, professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia booked his first quarter final spot in 10 months after defeating India’s Mithun Manjunath in the second round of the Thailand Masters on Thursday (Jan 29).

Before stepping onto the court, Zii Jia admitted he was wary of the world No. 60, who had earlier knocked out eighth seed Magnus Johannesen in the opening round.
