PETALING JAYA: Shuttler Lee Zii Jia has set up an all-Malaysian men's singles final with Ng Tze Yong in the Arctic Open.
Zii Jia was leading 21-17, 13-8 against Denmark's world No. 10 Anders Antonsen when the latter retired after suffering an injury in the last four at the Energia Arena in Vantaa, Finland on Saturday (Oct 14).
The world No. 14 has made it into his first final of the year and will take on Tze Yong for the title on Sunday (Oct 15).
Earlier, world No. 19 Tze Yong stormed into his maiden World Tour final after sweeping aside Japan's Kanta Tsuneyama 21-12, 21-16.
Zii Jia had narrowly beaten Tze Yong in three games in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open in Sydney in August.
