The world No. 5 put up a clinical performance to score a convincing 21-9, 21-13 win against Frenchman Brice Leverdez in 45 minutes at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium yesterday.
“It was an easy match. So far, I am feeling quite good. It’s been a while since I was back on court , so I’m quite excited,” said Zii Jia. It will probably get easier for Zii Jia in the second round as he is down to play the unheralded Bernardo Atilano of Portugal tomorrow. The 35-year-old Daren, who also doubles up as Zii Jia’s sparring partner, could not keep up with the intensity of Axelsen, the 2017 world champ, and was out in 42 minutes.
