SHAH ALAM: Lee Chong Wei underlined his intention to win a record 11th Celcom Axiata Malaysian Open title with a masterclass show.

The 33-year-old, who missed last year’s tournament due to a doping ban, was simply untouchable as he brushed Denmark’s Jan O Jorgensen aside with a 21-7, 21-14 win in the men’s singles semi-finals at the Malawati Stadium. And it took Chong Wei only 35 minutes to record the win.
