Indonesia's Jonatan Christie clinched the Badminton Asia Championships crown April 14, seeing off Li Shifeng in straight games by playing at a quicker tempo to exploit the home favourite's apparent tiredness.
Christie defeated the 24-yearold 21-15, 21-16 in the men's singles final in the Chinese city of Ningbo.
"I didn't expect to win again after winning the All England and it could be a booster for me personally so that in the future I can be more consistent and better in terms of performance and everything," said the world No. 5, who in March ended Indonesia's 30-year wait for the All England men's singles title.
"The victory was thanks to the playing strategy that I implemented with a faster playing rhythm because I saw that Li Shifeng was quite tired after yesterday's match in the semi-finals.
