BAM to push back-up shuttlers to the fore

By RAJES PAUL

COPENHAGEN: The men’s singles back-up shuttlers will be the centre of attention from now on to take some pressure off world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei.

This will be the first big step that will be taken after Malaysia witnessed the collapse of top seed Chong Wei in the World Championships at the Bellarup Super Arena on Sunday. Chong Wei went down 19-21, 19-21 to Chen Long of China.
