I will enjoy this break to recharge my batteries, says World Number One Lee Chong Wei
Malaysia’s top player, Lee Chong Wei, who has been busy in competing international events for the last 12 months, has finally got a small break and he wants to enjoy it and regain his energy for the next tournaments.
The 29-year-old Chong Wei, who has been the World Number One for the last three years, has been playing top class badminton for the last one year and has won numerous Super Series tournaments.
In the opening weeks of current year, Chong Wei maintained his top position by winning two Super Series title in a row. He won the Men’s Singles titles in Korea Open and Malaysia Open to prove that despite being fatigued, he can still beat the world with his incredible skills.
He won the Malaysia Open Series for the eighth time during his professional career that proves his higher standard among the other Malaysian shuttlers.
In the ending months of 2010, Chong Wei failed to continue his winning form and lost to his major Chinese opponents, Lin Dan and Chen Long. But in the opening weeks of current year, he has left his losing streak behind and has got his killing form back.
Now the top seed has got a short break and wants to utilise it to regain his strength and to enjoy the Chinese New Year.
In this break, Chong Wei will remain focused in his training and will work on to get physical fitness and mental toughness to perform well in the upcoming events including Olympic Games.
He said, “After a tough season last year, I will enjoy this break to recharge my batteries ahead of the coming battles. However, I will not rest on my laurels. I will definitely have to be on my toes as I know the Chinese players will want revenge for their poor start to the year.”
While talking about his recent performance, he said that he is feeling great with his two consecutive victories in back-to-back tournaments.
“It’s great to have won back-to-back Superseries tournaments and to have beaten my two biggest rivals en route to winning,” said Chong Wei.
Now, the World Number One aims to remain fit and perform well in upcoming events to get a better seeding in the 2012 Olympic Games.
