Today, after achieving a rare win against a home favourite at the Istora, Lee revealed how proud he was of himself – he hadn’t let the noise, the difficult conditions, and the vagaries of his own mind get to him.

“There was a lot of pressure on me,” said Lee, who. “When I hit the shuttle I couldn’t even hear the sound – the crowd was so loud. So I’m so happy to win this match.

“When I started, the side was difficult. I had to calm down and start from zero, and forget what happened in the first game. I just tried to avoid mistakes and had to be patient. It was a great experience. It was almost like playing at home in Hong Kong. This is the first time I’m beating a home player here.
“I’m proud of myself. I’m happy I could do it, because my mentality is my weak side.”
