Zii Jia resumes his great rivalry with Axelsen |
|
All eyes will be on the highly anticipated clash between Lee Zii Jia and reigning Olympic champion Viktor Axelsen when Malaysia face Denmark in their final Group D tie of the Thomas Cup on Tuesday.
Apart from their brief eight-point encounter at the Sudirman Cup last year, the last full match between the two heavyweights was in 2022 during the semi-finals of the Indonesia Open in Jakarta, where Axelsen defeated Zii Jia in a three-game thriller. With the Paris Olympics looming, top players are aiming to peak at the right time. ---------------------------------- #NST #NSTTV visit us at http://www.nst.com.my our Facebook http://www.facebook.com/nstonline more news at http://www.twitter.com/NST_Online and also http://www.instagram.com/nstonline |
