Lenggok Zii Jia sewaktu turun ke gelanggang separuh akhir di Bilbao Arena, Sepanyol berbeza apabila dia tidak melambangkan keyakinan seperti aksi dalam suku akhir.
Zii Jia yang diletakkan selaku pilihan kedua kejohanan, tewas kepada wakil Indonesia, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo 21-19, 21-18.
Tewas set pertama membuka peluang buat Chico untuk meneruskan momentum dalam set kedua.
