Eighth-seeded Zii Jia had a shaky start in the opening set of their quarterfinal match as series of unforced errors caused him dearly, going down 11-21 to the third-seeded Christie. Clearly rattled by the first set loss, the Malaysian was totally outplayed by his Indonesian rival, who won 6-21 bringing their personal head-to-head record to 5-5.Despite Zii Jia’s defeat in the singles event, Malaysia will have a representative in the 2024 BAC men’s doubles final as national men’s doubles, Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and Goh Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin Rumsani will play each other in the semi-finals tomorrow.
Aaron-Wooi Yik stormed to the last four following a straight set win over home duo, Liu Yu Chen-Ou Xuan Yi 21-14, 21-15. Sze Fei-Nur Izzuddin, on the other hand, had to endure a grueling 68-minute battle to oust 2020 Olympic Games champions Lee Yang-Wang Chi-Lin of Taiwan 19-21, 21-19, 21-19 for their spot in the semi-final. — Bernama
