Chong Wei not taking Iskandar lightly

National badminton ace Datuk Lee Chong Wei is not taking compatriot Iskandar Zulkarnain Zainuddin, who he will be meeting in the men's singles final of the Malaysian Masters Grand Prix Gold championship at the Spice Arena here tomorrow, lightly.

He said Iskandar, who beat the odds to reach the final, would certainly be a "handful".

"Iskandar has performed well. From the very first round he pulled off many upsets against more fancied players.

"He is showing a different spirit this time, I hope he will maintain it," said Chong Wei.

The former world number one and top seed brushed aside Tommy Sugiarto of Indonesia in straight sets of 21-19, 21-15 en route to the final.
