Santoso stuns Lee; Wang tops Li
Print Edition
UNSEEDED Indonesian Simon Santoso pulled off a major shock when he thrashed badminton’s world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei to win the Singapore Open for the first time yesterday.
The 28-year-old, considered a rank outsider against Malaysia’s Lee, upset the form book in style with an emphatic 21-15, 21-10 victory in just 48 minutes in the Singapore final. Earlier, Olympic champion Li Xuerui refused to speak to media after she lost the women’s final to her Chinese team-mate and arch-rival Wang Yihan for the second year in a row. Wang, upset by Li in the 2012 Olympic final, won 21-11, 21-19 — aided by two critical net points — after trailing the top seed for most of the second game.
