KUALA LUMPUR: Men’s singles shuttlers Ng Tze Yong and Lee Zii Jia experienced mixed fortunes in the French Open in Rennes today.
While 23-year-old Tze Yong marched into the quarterfinals by disposing of homester Arnaud Merkle 21-19, 21-8 in 47 minutes, Zii Jia’s quest for a second title this season ended when he lost 21-17, 11-21, 12-21 to eighth-seeded Li Shi Feng of China.
