Zii Jia works hard to advance to the second round of the Hylo Opena. After all of the uncertainty surrounding his participation, singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia went on to play in the Hylo Open, but only made it to the second round.
In a 54-minute first-round match in Saarbrucken on Wednesday, the second seed had to dig deep into his reserves to defeat veteran Pablo Abian of Spain 21-11, 21-23, 22-24.
The world No. 8 takes on Ireland’s Nguyen Nyat for a spot in the quarter-finals, and the Malaysian should win on paper.
Singapore’s Loh Kean Yew, who defeated Zii Jia in the first round of the French Open last week, continued his giant-killing streak by defeating Taiwan’s top seed and French Open runner-up Chou Tien-chen 21-18, 21-13.
He will next face France’s Toma Junior Popov.
Hendrawan, who was unsure whether to field Zii Jia due to his inconsistent form and mental tiredness before finally giving the nod, said he expected the shaky start in Germany.
“That’s Zii Jia for you. He usually struggles in the opening game but I believe he will only get better after this,” Hendrawan stated.
Tan Wee Kiong-Tan Kian Meng are the only survivors in the men’s doubles after defeats in the first round by Goh V Shem-Low Juan Shen and Ong Yew Sin-Teo Ee Yi. Wee Kiong-Kian Meng defeated Japan’s Takuto Inoue-Kenya Mitsuhashi 21-15, 21-10 and will now face Indonesia’s second seeds Mohd Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan.
Vivian Hoo-Lim Chiew Sien also had a successful outing, defeating Denmark’s Alexander Boje-Mette Poulsen 21-23, 21-18, 21-17 to set up a meeting with Thailand’s fifth seeds Puttita Supajirakul-Sapsiree Taerattanachai.
In the mixed doubles, Goh Soon Huat-Shevon Lai Jemie, Hoo Pang Ron-Cheah Yee See, and Chen Tang Jie-Peck Yen Wei all advanced to the last 16.
Soon, Huat-Shevon will face Denmark’s Niclas Nohr-Amalie Magelund; Pang Ron-Yee See will face Thailand’s Dechapol Puavaranukroh-Sapsiree Taerattanachai; and Tang Jie-Yen Wei will face third seeds. Marcus Ellis-Lauren Smith is an English model.
Tan Kian Meng-Lai Pei Jeng were omitted in the first round after losing 16-21, 17-21 to Thailand’s Supak Jomkoh-Supissara Paewsampran.
