KUALA LUMPUR: Age is just a number for Lee Chong Wei as despite the growing number of rivals, the 36-year-old remains the player to beat in competitions. National men's singles coach Hendrawan admitted that Chong Wei is left with no choice but to grab the up-and-coming shuttlers by the horns. "Previously, it was players like Lin Dan, Chen Long, Shi Yuqi, Viktor Axelsen and K.Srikanth who were Chong Wei's main rivals, now you have Momota in the fray. "This makes it tougher for Chong Wei, especially at the Asian Games which is his main target this year. With his experience, Chong Wei can still do it," said Hendrawan.
