SINGAPORE - Chinese shuttler, two-time Olympic winner Lin Dan was beaten by world No. 56 Sony Kuncoro from Indonesia in the men's singles semifinals at the Singapore Open on Saturday.
Quick out of the blocks, Kuncoro raced to a 21-10 victory in the first game. Lin then dug deep to take the second game at 21-17 and the tie went into a tiebreaker, before Kuncoro found enough in his depleting tank to edge out Lin 22-20.
"It's been a while since I last won. I think this win really means plenty to me," admitted Kuncoro. "I'm very happy today because it was such an awesome game. The scores in the first set were pretty far apart, so when it got closer in the next two sets, I just concentrated on the game to get one point at a time."
Lin admitted that he didn't play well in the game and his rival was in a better condition than himself.
Kuncoro will be up against South Korea's world No. 10 Son Wan Ho, as the latter booked a place in the final following a straight set 22-20, 21-16 victory over Angus Ng Ka Long of Hong Kong, China.
