KUALA LUMPUR: Lee Chong Wei passed his first hurdle in Group A of the Super Series Finals by overcoming Hong Kong’s Ng Ka Long 21-14, 21-13 at the Hamdan Sports Complex in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates today. National coach Tey Seu Bock said the win in Chong Wei’s first group match was important and a positive start for the World No 2 in his mission to win the prestigious tournament. Chong Wei was scheduled to play Rio Olympics champion Chen Long in the second match, but the China player pulled out with a knee injury. “Tomorrow Chong Wei will undergo light training as usual as part of his recovery and rehabilitation process. For the record, Chong Wei has never won the Super Series Final which has been held in Dubai since 2014, and this is the last year it will be held there.
