Lin Dan win gives great satisfaction, says Chong Wei

The 33-year-old Chong Wei played his heart out to score a come-from-behind 17-21, 21-19, 21-19 emphatic victory in the semi-finals of the China Open on Saturday to set up a showdown with another Chinese Chen Long.

It was one of the Malaysian’s best performances of the season in the one-hour and 31-minute thriller. It was also Chong Wei’s first-ever win over Lin Dan on China soil – and his first over his nemesis in more than three years.
