PETALING JAYA: Professional men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia knows he cannot afford to take India’s Mithun Manjunath lightly if he hopes to advance to the quarter-finals of the Thailand Masters.

The two players are set to clash in the second round today at the Nimibutr Stadium in Bangkok after Mithun pulled off a surprise by eliminating eighth seed Magnus Johannesen of Denmark 21-12, 9-21, 21-17 in the first round yesterday.
