Chen is leading 11-3 now and looks set to win the 2nd. Choong Hann will stand little chance if it goes to 3 sets. It does increasingly look like its going to be a Hafiz vs Chong Wei final showdown.
3-13 WCH is slow but sure, but CJ is faster and sure 3 sets=more entertainment for the crowd (usually)
Chen won the second game. Pang-Kaldau 6-6 in the second set...very tight. The fast-improving Japanese women pair is leading 5-1 now
Kaldau levels again...8-8.....its going to be a long long game if Pang can somehow win this tight second set. Ogura/Shiota vs Cai/Qian 6-3
Pang gets another 2 points.....10-8 now. Still same scoreline in other courts. The third set between Wong and Chen is starting now.
Chen has a good start...leading 3-0. It looks to be over for Wong. Ogura/Shiota leads 7-3 Pang leads 10-9
Pang inches ahead 13-11 Jap get 6 points in a row and looks set to clinch the first set 13-9 Chen still leads Wong 6-4
