Indonesian shuttler Taufik Hidayat surrendered 9-21, 14-21 to his Malaysian rival Lee Chong Wei on Sunday in the final of the Indonesia Open Super Series 2009 at the Bung Karno Sports Complex.
The defeat prevented Taufik from breaking Ardy B. Wiranata’s record of winning six Indonesian Open titles.
Taufik advanced to the final after routing his fellow Indonesian Sony Dwi Kuncoro 21-17 and 21-14, while Lee Chong Wei defeated China’s Chen Jin 21-15 and 22-20 in the semifinals.
