SINGAPORE – Malaysia’s world no. 5 Lee Zii Jia and Indonesia’s star shuttlers Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie are part of a world-class men’s singles field set to compete in the US$370,000 (RM1.6 million) Singapore Badminton Open.

The Singapore Badminton Open 2022, the largest and most prestigious badminton event in Singapore, is making its return on July 12-17 after a pandemic-enforced two-year hiatus.

According to the Singapore Badminton Association (SBA), more than half of the top-ranked male players in the world have registered for the tournament, including Denmark’s world no. 1 Viktor Axelsen and world no. 3 Anders Antonsen and Singapore’s 10th-ranked Loh Kean Yew.

“Lee, in particular, will be an exciting talent to watch. The 24-year-old is in fine form, having won two titles and making two semi-finals from four events this year,” said SBA in a statement issued here yesterday.
