Datuk lee Chong Wei regained his world number 1 position yesterday by virtue of qualifying for the finals for Indonesian Open.
To add the icing, he also captured Indonesian open title by beating Jan Orgensen in rubber sets.
He was world number 1 till Sept 2014 before tested positive where he dropped below 150 in ranking. But he came up consistently. A good motivation for him before the Rio Olympics.
The matter is, till when he will sustain it. Being a player above 30s, very rare players would reach world number 1 status. Even Nicol David is finding it tough and dropped her ranking, Especially with emergence of younger players.
