Top-seeded Lee Chong Wei was one of those who did not have as easy a way as predicted. After an easy 21-11 win in the first game against Sho Sasaki, Lee was taken by surprise by his Japanese opponent, who was able to pick up his pace and take the second game 22-20. Fortunately, Lee was able to find his usual rhythm again in the deciding game and denied the Japanese entry to the next round with a quick 21-8 win.
