KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): National top singles ace Lee Zii Jia is one match away from clinching a maiden All England title after overpowering Mark Caljouw of the Netherlands 21-13,21-17 in Birmingham Saturday (March 21).

Sixth-seeded Zii Jia was in majestic form as he swept aside the Dutchman in straight games at the Utilita Arena.

Caljouw pounced on Zii Jia’s hesitancy to take a 16-15 lead but that was the wake-up call the 22-year-old from Alor Setar needed as he regain his composure, fight back and storm home 21-17. Zii Jia will now meet the winner of the all-Danish clash between second seed Axelsen and third seed Anders Antonsen in the other semi-final, which will be played later Saturday night .

He began the year by losing to second seed Chou Tien Chen of Taiwan in the quarter-finals of the Yonex Thailand Open before crashing out in the first round at the hands of India’s Sameer Verman in the Toyota Thailand Open back in January.
