Momota misses his idol Chong Wei, says Joo-bong


KENTO Momota must have felt like something was missing on his return to Axiata Arena for the Perodua Malaysian Masters this week.

In his previous visit last July, the reigning world champion went down to his idol Lee Chong Wei 17-21, 21-23 in a 71-minute epic final as the latter went on to bag a record 12th Malaysian Open crown.
