By LIM TEIK HUAT
Tough hurdle: Malaysia’s Liew Daren faces China’s illustrious shuttler Lin Dan in the first round of the Badminton Asia Championships in Wuhan.

PETALING JAYA: Lee Chong Wei tasted success in the Badminton Asia Championships in Wuhan three years back but a very tough draw for the 2019 edition makes it an uphill task for the Malaysian players to emulate his achievement.

Chong Wei has yet to get back to competitive badminton as he continues to seek treatment for nose cancer.
