Tricky first hurdle


PETALING JAYA: Can former national No. 1 men’s singles shuttler Lee Chong Wei clear the opening round of the Celcom Axiata Malaysian Open from April 2-7?

On paper, it looks daunting as 12-time home champion Chong Wei faces India’s K. Srikanth as his first opponent in his much-anticipated return to competition at the Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil.
