Growing up, the YONEX All England was one of the tournaments that loomed large for Lee Zii Jia. Last year he expected to make his debut but wasn’t able to. It is with great excitement therefore that the Malaysian anticipates his first appearance at the All England tomorrow.
“Last year I came here as I was on the reserves’ list and I expected that I maybe had the chance to play, but unluckily I couldn’t. It’s a big tournament and I’m quite excited as it’s my first time. Hopefully I will have a good result here,” said the world No.13, on the eve of the tournament.
“Of course all badminton players dream of playing at the All England. I’m very excited. For me it’s a bit different from the other tournaments because the environment here is like, it’s something very big, the atmosphere here is a big tournament feeling.”
