Defending champion Chen Hong has lost two match points to fall short of the semi-finals and a chance of defending his title.

World number one player Lin Dan is now the only Chinese shuttler in the semi-finals after a two-set straight win, 15-12, 15-3, over sixth seeded Kenneth Jonassen of Denmark.

In mixed doubles, China's newly crowned world champions Xie Zhongbo and Zhang Yawen failed to topple defending champions Nathan Robertson and Gail Emms of England.

In the women's games, Chinese shuttlers demonstrated their supremacy as top guns have all sailed through to the semi-finals in both singles and doubles events.
