Arctic Open: Tze Yong, Zii Jia face off in all-Malaysian final

However the final pans out, Malaysia are guaranteed a Super 500 title ,which is set to be the best achievement yet this year.

Ng booked his first World Tour final of the year in dominant fashion by disposing of Kanta Tsuneyama in straight games 21-12, 21-16.

The Johor-born looked to have to come to his own in this event in Finland after eliminating three higher ranked opponents to reach the final.

Chou Tien-chen, Lu Guang Zu and now Tsuneyama were all picked apart in straight games with the Malaysian showing immense control, poise and precision in all those encounters.

It will be intriguing how he fares up against Lee, who is out to to stamp a mission statement of his own.

The Kedahan got his second consecutive walkover entry after Anders Antonsen pulled up injured in the second game with a 8-13 deficit, after Lee had clinched the opener 21-17.

This is Lee's first final in a year after losing in the Denmark Open final last October.
