Yes. You heard me right! Lee Chong Wei is now world no .1.

KUALA LUMPUR: National shuttler Lee Chong Wei has never won a title when ranked as world No. 1.He has a chance to set the record straight when he competes in the Japan Open, which will be held in Tokyo from Sept 16-21. Chong Wei: Has held to the No. 1 spot for a second consecutive week. In 2006, Chong Wei took part in the Macau Open as the top seed and the world No. 1 but failed to justify his status when he lost to China’s Lin Dan in the final. His coach Datuk Misbun Sidek, however, is looking beyond the Japan Open. Misbun wants Chong Wei to be the first Malaysian player to maintain his world No. 1 ranking for a long time, although he knows it won’t be easy. – TheStar

Hope he can maintain his rank. Congratulation.
