    Chen Long's retrieving ability is beginning to frustrate tago....

    An unusual long rally put to an end by CL with a cross court smash 7-all.

    Tago gave back what CL did with a cross court smash 8-all, Tago.

    A rare net trick shot from Chen Long, a little hold and flick that catches Tago off-guard.

    Tago led again 9-8 as CL hit long but only briefly when CL won points to lead 10-9.

    On the whole, Chen Long's shotmaking is a bit too simple and straightforward which allows a clever thinking player like Tago to read and anticipate to seize the initiative.

    Looks like Tago is giving up the fight, now trails 9-13.

    That smash return by CL is too high giving KT plenty of time to rush the net and kill it.

    Tago is trying all kinds of shots but still fails. 16-10 to CL.

    Chen Long's dive retrieval is getting better.

    Yup, that was in at the backline as seen on TV replay, too bad CL didn't challenge the call.

    13-18, a bit too far to catch up Tago.

    Another consolation point for Tago 14-19 but CL has now reached match-point and finished it up with a cross-court smash.

    A comprehensive victory by Chen Long whose retrieving ability often forced Tago to go for the lines and play his shots tighter hence more likely to commit errors.

    Hadn't expected HKV to beat Son WH so convincingly in two straight sets, 21-13 and 21-16, earlier in the day.

    Next up, a tall order for Chai/Hong against the ex-WC Ahsan/Setiawan.
