Malaysia’s badminton star Lee Zi Jia returns to individual singles action on the BWF World Tour this week at the 2024 Toyota Thailand Openrunning in Bangkok from 14 to 19 May with the final rounds live on Olympic Channel via Olympics.com and the official Olympics app (territorial restrictions may apply).
The world number 10 is seeded seventh in the Thai capital, and is looking for his first individual semi-final at a World Tour event this year having reached three quarter-finals.
He has been drawn to face the hosts’ world number 47 Wangcharoen song in the first round, with a potential second-round clash against Japan’s Watanabe Koki or a pre-qualifier.
Should Lee make it to the quarter-finals, a stern test is in store, as third seed and world number six Li Shifeng of People’s Republic of China could lie in wait. The other seeds in his half of the draw that Lee could face in a potential semi-final are eighth seed Chou Tien-chen of Chinese Taipei and Japanese world number five Naraoka Kodaithe second seed.
