Good news continue to be highlighted and more exciting matches will be held today. As usual hope will be high on Lee Hyun Il once again to bring back the gold medal for Korea in the MS department. Sad to say,but this is the situation. Korea has to depend on an old player to win. Nevertheless player like Chong Wei Feng and Chan Peng Soon / Goh Liu Ying have created upsets yesterday and won over higher ranked players. Again just hope that jeon hyeok Jin can continue to win in this tournament too.
