Lee Yen Hui Kendrick ( _zh. 李彦辉) (born locally on October 8, 1984) is one of Singapore's best badminton players.

Career

In the 24th SEA Games held in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, he had the honour of being the republic's flag-bearer. He was quoted as saying that it's an honour he does not take lightly. Compiled with the recent win in the Netherlands, it gave him more motivation to do well. It clearly done so as Kendrick shocked everyone by defeating World no.6 Sony Dwi Kuncoro in the first round. He went on to the semi-finals by beating Kuan Beng Hong in the quarter-finals. In the semi-finals, he once again took everyone by surprise after disposing of Thai favourite, Boonsak Ponsana, in 2 straight sets on Boonsak's homesoil. Ironically, Boonsak was also the flag-bearer for his country.

He made history for being the first Singaporean to feature in the finals of the Men's Singles event after 24 years. However, he lost to reigning Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat in the finals, adding another silver medal to the silver medal he has already gotten earlier for the Men's Team event.

In October 2007, he managed to end his 3 year drought by claiming the Dutch Open men singles' crown. He won Poland's Wacha Przemyslaw in the final.

During the Bitburger Luxembourg Open 2006, Lee managed to clinch the Runner-Up position, losing to campatriot Ronald Susilo. On top of that, he has been the semi-finalist for many competitions since he became a full time badminton player in 2002.

Notable achievements include the semi-final appearance in the 2006 Chinese Taipei Open after defeating China's Chen Hong and the runner-up position at the 2002 World Junior Championships for boys singles's.

Lee has represented Singpore in many Regional and International Competitions such as the recent 15th Asian Games, 2006 Commonwealth Games and the SEA Games.
