Chong Wei to face familiar foes in quest for world title - but not Lin Dan


KUALA LUMPUR: It's deja vu for Lee Chong Wei, as he will begin the quest for his first World Championship badminton title against the same opponent who knocked him out at Glasgow, Scotland, last year.

As fate would have it, the 35-year-old will play Brice Leverdez of France again at the championships in Nanjing, China, from July 30-Aug 5.
