Malaysia’s men’s singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia has withdrawn from the Swiss Open 2025 due to a recurring right ankle injury.
“Team LZJ can confirm that Zii Jia is withdrawing from the upcoming Swiss Open in Basel due to his right ankle injury,” Team LZJ said in a social media post today.
“Zi Jia will seek further treatment before any announcement is made on his tournament plans,” the statement said.
The World No.8 suffered the right ankle injury for the first time at the BWF World Tour Finals in December last year.
Since then he has participated in the Orleans Masters and All England Open 2025. He was knocked out in the first round of the prestigious tournament after a 16-21, 12-21 loss to Hong Kong’s Angus Ng Ka Long in the first round yesterday.
