World No. 7 Li Zijia, who took over where he left off at the Birmingham Arena a year ago, started his All England title defense with a 21-16, 21-17 win over Japan's Kenta Nishimoto on Wednesday.
Zijia, who turned 24 on March 29, took just 43 minutes today to arrange her next meeting with rising Canadian star Brian Young.
This will be a repeat of last year's first-round encounter between the two, with Zi Jia winning 21-13, 21-10, but the world No. 33 is definitely a lot better than 12 months ago.
