And he is not about to let the opportunity to make some personal history slip, especially after going 17 months without a title before his success at the Arctic Open last week.
Lee, who struggled with inconsistency this year, resulting in seven first round exits and a drop in world ranking from second to 18th, vowed after his 21-15 21-17 VICTOR Denmark Open 2023 semifinal win over Lee Cheuk Yiu: “I went through so much, now I’m in two straight finals. This time, I won’t let it go easily.
“I had a bad start to the year, and experienced seven first round exits. It was the worst performance of my career. My family, my team didn't give up on me, they were always there to cheer me up, although sometimes I did stupid things. It's part of the process but I must admit, I feel blessed to have them beside me. I hope this team will get stronger and stronger.
