8 Lee Zii Jia has suffered a shocking first round exit at the French Open after losing to Singapore's Loh Kean Yew on Wednesday (Oct 27). Zii Jia had previously pipped the Penang-born Kean Yew to the gold medal at the Philippines SEA Games in 2019. Playing in his fourth tournament in as many weeks might have taken its toll on Zii Jia. The match against Kean Yew was his 11th in the span of 30 days. Zii Jia has also been entered for the Hylo Open in Germany next week, but it remains to be seen if he will proceed with the plan.
