Wiser Ying Ying now knows she must strike while it’s hot


Ying Ying: ‘I should have attacked more. Instead, I was trying to play safe and that cost me the match.’

PETALING JAYA: Lee Ying Ying has learnt a valuable lesson following her loss in the Polish Open final.

The 19-year-old shuttler was just two points away from beating Japan’s world No. 49 Yui Hashimoto for her second career women’s singles title in Warsaw on Sunday. Ying Ying was leading 19-17 in the second game but fluffed her chances to lose 13-21, 21-19, 21-10 in 62 minutes.
