Lee bags sixth Japan Open title

Tokyo : Malaysia's Lee Chong Wei on Sunday won his sixth Yonex Open Japan title, defeating third seed Jan O Jorgensen of Denmark.

Lee, a silver medallist in the last three Olympics, triumphed 21-18, 15-21, 21-16 against the Dane.

The 33-year-old world number one had sailed through the men's singles at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium without losing a single game.

But he had more of a contest in the final, with Jorgensen taking the second game.

Lee also won the Japan Open in 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010 and 2007. In women's singles, China's He Bingjiao beat compatriot Sun Yu 21-14, 7-21, 21-18.
