With a 21=15, 21-12 defeat, Singapore's Loh Kean Yew loses a fourth straight match to Malaysia's Lee Zii Jia at the All England Open round of 16.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.
With a beautiful blend of power and deception, 2021 All England Open champion Lee raced to a 8-0 lead in the opener and never looked back against an opponent who had never made it past the first round until he beat Hong Kong’s Angus Ng on March 13. Lee, who lost in the first round of French Open to Denmark’s world No. 33 Magnus Johannesen, said he was motivated by that surprise defeat.
“That’s what we saw from him today, he was clearly not at his best. He committed so many unforced errors.”
