PETALING JAYA: A tricky path once again awaits former Asian champion Lee Zii Jia as he faces world No. 38 HS Prannoy in the Indonesian Masters, which gets underway Tuesday (Jan 20) at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta.

Prannoy is no stranger to Zii Jia, having dashed the Malaysian’s hopes in the battle for a semi-final spot at the Hangzhou Asian Games three years ago. The Indian currently holds the upper hand with two wins from their three meetings since 2021.
