LEE Zii Jia has a chance to record his second career win over reigning Olympic champion Chen Long when they face off in the opening round of the Denmark Open, which starts tomorrow, in Odense. Zii Jia defeated the World No 5 at the Indonesia Open in July before the China ace exacted revenge in their second meeting of the season at the China Open last month. “I am eager to play Chen Long again and I hope to get my revenge after the defeat in China. It will be tough but I will try to do my best to beat the reigning Olympic champion,” said Zii Jia. Should Zii Jia overcome Chen Long, the Malaysian will face either Japan’s Kanta Tsuneyama or India’s Sameer Verma for a quarter-final spot on Thursday.
