Indonesian Anthony won't trouble Zii Jia at Paris Olympics anymore

KUALA LUMPUR: The much-anticipated last-16 clash between Lee Zii Jia and Indonesia's Anthony Ginting at the Paris Olympics did not materialise. World No. 7 Zii Jia will face Frenchman Toma Junior Popov instead after the latter stunned Anthony, the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist, 21-19, 17-21, 21-15, to emerge as Group H winner, sending the home crowd at Porte De La Chapelle into a frenzy yesterday.
