It's Chong Wei v Lin Dan, version 32 (updated)


INCHEON: It’s the match everyone is looking forward to and the Lee Chong Wei versus Lin Dan men’s singles semi-final showdown is on at the Incheon Asian Games.

But the 31-year-old Chong Wei nearly failed to fulfil his part of the deal. The top seed and world No. 1 struggled to get past Nguyen Tien Minh of Vietnam 21-23, 21-16, 21-17 in 75 minutes at Gyeyang Gymnasium on Saturday.
