Lee Zii Jia is the last Malaysian standing, having booked his seat in the semifinals after taking out Shesar Hiren Rhustavito, 11-21 21-14 21-13. Rhustativo’s loss means that Indonesia will no longer be represented at the TOYOTA Thailand Open 2019.
“This is my first semifinal this year so I’ll have to deal with the pressure of that. It’s a pretty even but tough playing field and I think we’re all tired.
"I have to say I’m more comfortable playing against Chou [Tien Chen] because I’ve played him before and understand his game, but I plan to play as I always do whoever I meet next,” said Lee.
