Chong Wei continues to shine in All-England Championship
World number one men's shuttler Datuk Lee Chong Wei continued his remarkable performance in the All-England Badminton Championship after he sailed through to the quarter-finals at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Chong Wei who is gunning for a hattrick in the championship after winning back-to-back in 2010 and 2011 easily dispatched off his opponent, Wang Zhengming of China; 21-17 and 21-19 in just 42 minutes in the second round match.
In the quarter-finals, the 31-year-old Penangite will play either Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam or Verma Sourabh of India who will square-off in the second round match, later today.
National men's pair, Hoon Thien How and Tan Wee Kiong followed in Chong Wei's footsteps after they defeated Ingo Kindervater and Gerjohannes Schoettler of Germany; 21-15 and 21-15.
They, however, have an uphill task as they will play against eight seeded Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan in the quarter-finals as the Indonesian pair defeated Chinese Taipei's, Lee Sheng Mu and Tsai Chia Hsin; 23-21 and 21-16.
