The former World No. 1 told a Malaysian blogger that he was looking forward to start his official on-court training next Monday.
“This is just a small step toward my comeback. I still need some time to regain my fitness, but I am optimistic about it,” said Lee.
Badminton fans really can’t wait to see Lee back in action again.
