Lee seals historic Malaysia Open victory over Momota

Malaysian veteran Lee Chong Wei beat Japan鈥檚 Kento Momota 21-17, 23-21 yesterday to grab the Malaysia Open title for a historic 12th time.

The home favorite Lee executed a sensational attack strategy that left Momota confused and flat footed. Lee, 35, triumphed in 71 minutes to avenge his defeat to Momota, 23, in the semifinals of the Asian Championships in April. The defeat brought an abrupt end to Momota鈥檚 21-match winning streak. In the women鈥檚 singles final, top seed Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei saw off China鈥檚 He Bingjiao 22-20, 21-11.
