Lee Chong Wei in the First Match
Lee lost the first match to his opponent, Brice Leverdez from France.
“I can’t promise to stay until Tokyo Olympic, maybe I will retire tomorrow…” said Lee, after the match.
He looked sad and further mentioned he has no idea what he will be doing next, and he has no idea whether to stay or retire any soon.
Here’s the highlight of the match.
Lin Dan get to the Final
Lin, on the other hand, had won a few matches and been able to get into men single final stage.
He is, however, lost to the young Denmark player named Viktor Axelsen.
“Everyone is talking about my age (33), but I have proved I can still play at a high level,” he said
Anyway, here’s the “Super Dan” highlight in his match to Kieran Merrilees.
Next Generation is RISING!
A lot of new players are started to show their talent.
There are a lot of discussion saying the next generation will be dominating the badminton world soon!
Viktor Axelsen, Chou Tien Chen, Chen Long, etc are on the rise.
Lee Chong Wei vs Lin Dan… Anymore?
Many are hoping to witness the two legends to fight again in the championships but that seems impossible now.
