As usual, Chong Wei’s the last man standing

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s hopes of a Singapore Open double were dashed when only world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei was left to hold the fort – as usual.

While the 31-year-old Chong Wei bulldozed his way into the men’s singles semi-finals on Friday, his compatriots and national No. 1 men’s doubles pair Hoon Thien How-Tan Wee Kiong failed to follow suit after losing 16-21, 14-21 in just 29 minutes to Taiwan’s Lee Sheng-mu-Tsai Chia-hsin.
