PETALING JAYA: World No. 2 Lee Zii Jia bounced back from his Malaysian Open disappointment to advance to the second round of the Indian Open with a come-from-behind win over bogeyman Shesar Hiren of Indonesia.

Shesar had beaten Zii Jia in their last two meetings – the Malaysian Open in June and the French Open in October last year – but the Malaysian prevailed in a close 20-22, 21-19, 21-12 win in 63 minutes yesterday.

It was a relief for Zii Jia after he was beaten in the first round of the Malaysian Open by rising Japanese shuttler Kodai Naraoka in three games.
