Lee Chong Wei was beaten in the final of the All-england Badminton Championships on Sunday. He lost to Lin dan 21-19, 21-12. This was the first All-England final for Chong Wei and this was Lin Dan's 6th successive final and his 4th title. Although this defeat was a better performance from Chong Wei comparing to the 2 defeats at the Beijing Olympics and the China Open, the gap of standard between him and Lin Dan is still quite far. Besides the victory for Lin Dan, China also made a clean sweep of all the 5 titles and they are the first nation to do it in the All-England Championships, if I am not mistaken.
The winners of the All-England 2009 were:
1. Men's singles: Lin Dan
2. Women's singles: Wang Yihan
3. Men's doubles: Fu Haifeng-Cai Yun
4. Women's doubles: Zhang Yawen-Zhao Tingting
5. Mixed doubles: He Hanbin-Yu Yang
Furthermore, the Swiss Open Badminton Super Series will start today and I hope the Malaysian players taking part will fare better this time comparing to the All-England.
