Malaysian badminton world number one Lee Chong Wei tamed familiar opponent Peter Gade of Denmark in a lop-sided final to complete a title hat-trick at the Indonesia Open today.
The 28-year-old Lee beat Gade 21-11 21-7 in just over half an hour to become the third player — following the Indonesian duo of Ardy Wiranata and Taufik Hidayat — to win three successive men’s singles titles.
Lee had beaten the 34-year-old Gade in the India Open final in May.
India’s Saina Nehwal fought hard for more than an hour in the women’s singles final before losing 21-12 21-23 14-21 to China’s Wang Yihan.
“I feel lucky to have won here in Indonesia. It was a tiring tournament and today’s match was very difficult,” said the Chinese former world number one who now has beaten Saina in all their three encounters.
