Badminton Denmark Open: Lin Dan Stings, Xie Xingfang Bows

Just as the first and second round, Zhang Ning struggled to beat Zhou Mi in three hard-fought games 21-19, 15-21, 21-17, which broke my prediction. She will take on Wang Chen of Hong Kong for a spot in the finals, the latter easily defeating French Pi Hongyan. The battle against Zhou Mi exhausted her, which might affect the next match over Wang Chen.

World WS No.1 Xie Xingfang was upset by her patriot Lu Lan, while Zhu Lin succeeded to advance to the next stage. But her boyfriend Lin Dan continued his super performance to enter to the last 4. ##CONTINUE##His next opponent is the home player Jonassen. Bao Chunlai beat newly badminton champion Chen Jin with rich experience. The Malaysian Lee Chong Wei will be waiting for him on the semi-final court.

The black horse Indonesia pair Wong/Chin was not “black” any more, who was beat by Zhao Tingting/Yu Yang. To our surprise, Wong/Chin declared to quit the match when they were far behind the Chinese pair in the second game. Did they mean to surrender? Zhao/Yu and Korean pair will fight for a spot in the finals. Ya Wei/Zhang Jiewen had a win without sweat.
