The badminton world's top seed Lee Chong Wei again proved why the Malaysia Open championships is his favourite hunting ground after securing his sixth men's singles crown in brilliant style Sunday.
Thailand's Boonsak Ponsana found no answer to Lee's speed and supreme confidence as the Malaysian earned a one-sided 21-13, 21-7 win in 34 minutes. It was also the first time Lee has won back-to-back Super Series titles after having triumphed in the Korea Open in Seoul last week.
Lee said he was now looking forward to more success later this year in the World Championships in Paris in August, the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi in October and the Asian Games in Guangzhou this November. The women's singles gold went to Wang Xin of China after her opponent Bae Youn-Joo of South Korea retired hurt with a leg injury midway through the deciding third game of the final.
Bae won the first game 21-19 but Wang Xin came back strongly to win the second game 21-17 and was leading 14-6 in the decider when the Korean conceded the match.
