Chong Wei Has Best Chance of Badminton World Champion
Lee Chong Wei began the world title bid with a 21-11, 21-12 win over Lee Dong Keun. Lee Chong Wei began what is almost certainly his best chance of winning the world title with a routine win over Korean opponent Lee Dong Keun in Copenhagen.
The world number one from Malaysia’s 21-11, 21-12 first round win over Lee contained a higher ratio of fast airborne attacks than usual in his superbly well varied game.
It is two months since Chong Wei last competed – a loss to Japan’s Kenichi Tago in Indonesia – but there was no lack of match sharpness and no obvious evidence either of his persistent groin injury.
Despite all this the 31-year-old legend declined to agree that this is the best chance of winning the world title that has somehow eluded him.
