JAKARTA: Lee Chong Wei is likely to have one less opponent to worry about as he bids to win his first men’s singles title at the World Championships at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta.

Japan’s Kenichi Tago, tipped for a quarter-final clash with Chong Wei, is set to pull out of the championships due to a nagging back problem.
