Lee wins Canada Open to take back-to-back titles

The former world number one has won all 17 matches since returning to action last month after testing positive for dexamethasone at the world championships in August last year.

The win in the lower rated Grand Prix tournament will boost his world ranking of 99 as he bids to qualify for next year's Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and continues preparations ahead of the world championships in August.
