Lee Zii Jia’s brilliant performance in the final of the YONEX All England Open Badminton Championships 2021 had his coach Wong Choong Hann marvelling at his abilities.

However, Wong, also the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) coaching director, believes there is more to come from the 22-year-old champion, who was playing his first major final but showed no sign of being overawed.
What particularly impressed Wong was that Lee had headed in to the All England from a disappointing early season, having struggled at the Asian Leg in Bangkok in January.
“It’s a great start for Lee Zii Jia after a sluggish start in January this year,” Wong said.
