# Unseeded Chong Wei beats Marc Zwiebler
# Wei Feng dumped by Wang Zhengming
# Lin Dan suffers another defeat
# V Shem-Wee Kiong to meet Kien Keat-Boon Heong in men’s doubles
Datuk Lee Chong Wei set himself an intriguing quarter-final clash against World No 1 Chen Long of China – the man he beat in last week’s China Open final in Fuzhou City – after winning their second round matches in the USD350,000 Yonex Sunrise Hong Open on Thursday.
The unseeded Malaysian brushed aside Germany’s Marc Zwiebler 21-12, 21-12 in 38 minutes for another mouth watering clash against Chen Long. Chong Wei beat the Chinese ace in straight sets 21-15, 21-11 in the China Open last Sunday.
It was Chong Wei’s only 10th win over Chen Long but the Chinese, the reigning world champion, holds a 12-10 advantage in head to head count.
Chen Long, the top seed, however was involved a three-set game against Thai ace Boonsak Ponsana before securing a come-from-behind 19-21, 21-8, 21-13 in 58 minutes.
However, another Chinese ace, Lin Dan, a five-time world champion, was shown the exit by home favourite Angus Ng Ka Long who scored a stunning straight set 21-8, 21-18 win over the third seed.
Ka Long set himself up a quarter-final tie against Taiwan’s rising star Chou Tien Chen who stopped Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto with a 21-13, 24-22 win.
It was also end of the road for another Malaysian hopeful Chong Wei Feng whose erratic form continued when he fell to 12-21, 14-21 defeat to China’s Wang Zhengming who has never lost to the Wei Feng in their previous meetings.
Malaysia’s top men’s doubles pair Goh V Shem-Tan Wee Kiong also made the quarter-finals with a hard fought 22-20, 21-18 win over South Korea’s Ko Sung-hyun-Shin Baek-cheol, last year’s world champions.
In the quarter-finals the Malaysians will face China Open runners-up Chai Biao-Hong Wei who ended independent pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong’s run. The Chinese pair, however, were taken the full distance before prevailing 21-17, 21-23, 21-16 after 62 minutes.
