Chen bows out as Lee advances

Source: Agencies | January 18, 2014, Saturday | Print Edition

World No.1 Lee Chong Wei’s march to the Malaysia Open badminton title appeared unstoppable after Chinese rival Chen Long crashed out in the quarterfinals yesterday in Kuala Lumpur.

Malaysia’s Lee, who had no trouble brushing past Chen’s eighth-seeded compatriot Du Pengyu 21-9, 21-15, said he is feeling confident after his quick 34-minute win. Chen lost to Japan’s Kenichi Tago 21-18, 9-21, 21-10. “I was not feeling well and was not at 100 percent after the Korea Open,” said Chen, who headed into Malaysia on the back of four straight wins over Lee. “The weather in South Korea was so cold but here it is so hot. The change in temperature took a toll on my body.”
