KUALA LUMPUR: World number one Lee Chong Wei overcame Denmark’s Jan O Jorgensen to secure a place in the final of the Malaysia Badminton Open.
The home favourite dropped his first game of the tournament to the determined and energetic 26-year-old emerging Dane, but eventually won through 21-13, 17-21, 21-12.
“It was indeed a tough match and Jan pushed me hard,” said Lee, 30, who will now face Indonesia’s Sony Dwi Kuncoro in the final. “I haven’t faced him in over a year but he has bounced back from his injuries to break into the top five in the world. So I’m expecting another tough match.”
