World No. 1 lost to player ranked 147th in Indian Open Badminton

The latest upset in the badminton tournament happened to the world number 1 Lee Chong Wei at the Indian Open Badminton. He was beaten by the up and coming young player from China who was the 2007 World Junior Champion. It was a hard fought battle for Chen Long when he was taken to a rubber set by Lee Chong Wei who led the game with a first set win of 21-7. Eventually Chen Long won the game 21-16 and 21-18.
How did Chong Wei lost in the 1st round? Well he suspected that it was due to food poisoning while on his flight back from Switzerland just after winning the Swiss Open title. And what a disappointing start for him at the Indian Open.
Well maybe better luck next time for the Malaysian!
