Lee Zii Jia is one step closer to qualifying for 2022 World Tour Finals, which will conclude the badminton season next month. On Wednesday, Malaysian ace Lee easily dispatched Rio Agustino by score of 21-9, 21-11 to qualify for second-round at Australian Open. During this match, top-seeded Lee dominated from very start and never really seemed in trouble against inexperienced Rio.
