Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia cruised into his fourth straight men’s singles final at the world championships in Jakarta, Indonesia, but must overcome the top seed, Chen Long of China, to win his elusive gold. Lee, a three-time runner-up at badminton’s most prestigious event, advanced to the title match by defeating second-seeded Jan O. Jorgensen of Denmark, 21-7, 21-19. Lee, a former world No. 1, is unseeded for the first time in years at these world championships, having just returned from an eight-month ban for doping.
