Lee Zii Jia is back in badminton action this week at the BWF World Tour Super 1000 All England Open 2023, one of the sport's most prestigious tournaments, in Birmingham, England (14–19 March).
Despite suffering another early exit last week at the German Open, the Malaysian is seeded fourth for the tournament at the Arena Birmingham in the English Midlands, as he looks to arrest his troubling inconsistent form.
The fourth seed has to come through Sitthikom Thammasin in the opening round – and Lee holds a career 4–0 record against the Thai.
That would be followed by a second-round clash against either Canada's Brian Yang or Japan's Nishimoto Kenta, against both of whom Lee also holds winning records (3–0 and 4–1 respectively).
Naraoka Kodai of Japan is the other seed in his quarter of the draw, and would certainly represent a stiff test in the last eight if both make it that far.
Get past him, and second seed Jonatan Christie is the likely semi-final opponent.
