Lee Chong Wei Grabs Two Consecutive All-England Title


Malaysian's Lee Chong Wei grabs his two consecutive All-England title after beating his nemesis Lin Dan in a straight set  21-17, 21-17, crushing the ace of China from becoming the first shuttler in nearly 40 years to win the oldest badminton title for the fifth time. Lee Chong Wei, despite becoming the world first-ranked player, has only won 8 from 23 matches with Lin Dan since 2004. "I played safe today, I didn't go for the points at all," Lee said. "But I was mentally strong this time."
