SKOR.id - Hampir setahun setelah memutuskan gantung raket, mantan pebulu tangkis nomor 1 dunia Lee Chong Wei mengenang momen indah di Malaysia Open 2018.

Ia, saat itu telah berusia 35 tahun, sukses menaklukkan Kento Momota dari Jepang dalam final, 21-17, 23-21 dalam waktu 71 menit di Axiata Arena, Bukti Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.

Kemenangan tersebut terasa istimewa bagi Lee Chong Wei karena saat itu Kento Momota tengah on fire setelah bebas dari hukuman larangan bertanding pada 2017.

"Final (Malaysia Open) 2018 sangat berbeda. Kento (Momota) berada dalam performa terbaik. Dia berkualitas dan konsisten," Lee Chong Wei mengenang.

"Namun, ternyata saya bisa memberi tekanan (dan menang)," peraih tiga medali perak Olimpiade itu menambahkan dilansir dari thestar.com.my.

Chong Wei, yang bergelar Datuk tersebut, mengakui pertarungan melawan Kento Momota bukan perkara mudah. Dari segi fisik, dirinya sudah kalah dengan sang rival.

Namun, dukungan dari penonton serta keinginan untuk menang di depan publik sendiri membuat Datuk Lee Chong Wei terus melawan hingga akhirnya menang.

"Seisi stadion bersorak gembira. Saya senang penampilan (Malaysia Open) terakhir saya terasa istimewa. Saya sangat merindukan momen tersebut," ia menjelaskan.

Sejauh ini, Lee Chong Wei menjadi pebulu tankis tunggal putra dengan gelar Malaysia Open terbanyak. Ia sukses 12 kali meraihnya pada 2004-2006, 2008-2014, 2016, dan 2018.

"Kemenangan 12 gelar di rumah sendiri adalah pencapaian yang sulit. Saya akan selalu mengenangnya," ujar pria 37 tahun tersebut.

Rival sekaligus sahabat legenda bulu tangkis Indonesia, Taufik Hidayat, itu mengatakan jika dirinya bersyukur pensiun saat berada di puncak prestasi.

Setelah menjuarai Malaysia Open 2018, Lee Chong Wei masih sempat bertanding hingga semifinal Indonesia Open di tahun yang sama.

Namun sepulangnya dari turnamen, Lee Chong Wei divonis mengidap kanker hidung dan harus melakoni prosedur operasi di Taiwan pada Oktober 2018.

Ia sempat mencoba berlatih bulu tangkis kembali dan bersiap comeback pada awal 2019. Tetapi karena kondisi fisik tidak mendukung, maka asa tersebut pupus.

Dan akhirnya pada 13 Juni 2019, Lee Chong Wei memutuskan gantung raket dengan tetap menjadi pengamat bulu tangkis.
