According to Wei, he just wants to remain focused on his goals, and try to carry on with his consistent run which has seen him clinch six major titles so far this year.
In all of his showings in the previous editions of the mega event, Chong Wei remained was under immense pressure created by the huge expectations of the Malaysian fans. However, this time he wants to concentrate on remaining fit and playing well in the event without letting pressure take its toll.
While talking about his prospects in the championship, Chong Wei said, "I don't want to be caught with historical facts and become too desperate. I have been playing well this year and I want to play with the confidence that has helped me to be successful in the Super Series."
He further added, "I haven't won the World Championships and I will go for it but at the same time, I want to be relaxed which has been my secret for being very consistent this year."
Chong Wei, who is known as the “King of Super Series”, said that he will take the World Championship as a super series event and will look to win the title in London without taking the pressure of being the top seed.

However, Chong Wei remains confident that as long as he sticks to his game plan and gives his best in every match, his chances of clinching the seemingly elusive title are high as ever.
