The All England Badminton Final played in Birmingham on Mar 7 2009 was won by Lin Dan from China. The current world number 1 from Malaysia Lee Chong Wei was outplayed in straight sets with a score of 21-19 and 21-12. Lin Dan had won 9 times out of 10 in their previous encounters. Lin Dan is too strong for the Malaysian.
China took a clean sweep of all 5 games in this prestigious tournament, men's single, women's single, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. In 1987 China made a clean sweep in Beijing, but this is the first time they have done it overseas. Credit must be given to Coach Li Yongbo.
