Lin Dan of China hits a return during the men’s singles final match against Chen Long of China at the Malaysia Open badminton tournament in Kuala Lumpur on April 7, 2019. SADIQ ASYRAF / AFPChinese badminton ace Lin Dan clinched the Malaysia Open Sunday after an electric performance against countryman Chen Long to claim his first major title in two years.
Speaking to reporters afterwards, Lin said his game against two-time world champion Chen was a sign that his spate of bad luck was finally over.“My performance last year was not ideal, and I was under a lot of pressure and even doubted myself,” he said. But the 35-year-old Lin, five years Chen’s senior, dictated the pace by working his opponent with deft netplay and his trademark ferocious frontcourt smash.
The women’s singles saw Taiwanese top seed Tai Tzu-Ying clinch her third consecutive Malaysia Open title after a dominant 21-16, 21-19 triumph over Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi.
