Lin Dan to meet Lee Chong Wei in Yonex All England final



LIN DAN booked his place in his seventh Yonex All England men’s singles final this afternoon with a three-game win over Marc Zwiebler.

The Chinese third seed and four times winner beat the unseeded German 21-9 16-21
21-11 in 62 minutes then said: “I am disappointed with the second game as I was leading quite well at the beginning and I wanted to win the match in two games.”

Lin Dan will face Malaysia’s defending champion and top seed Lee Chong Wei in the final everyone wanted to see. Chong Wei beat Lin Dan’s team-mate and fifth seed Chen Long 21-17 21-13.

Zwiebler said: “It was a hard fight. He made mistakes in the second game which I benefited from. Now I am very tired but it has been a great week for me.

“My knees are swollen and everything hurts a little but that’s no excuse. He was the better player. Now I am looking forward to my holiday for a rest and to gain the motivation and confidence I need for next week (the Swiss Open).”

Chong Wei said: “I really enjoyed this match and tried my best and have enjoyed this whole experience of the All England. I feel I can still improve a little but I did feel relaxed out there today.”

The 28-year-old added: “I am going to retire soon so this will be the second to last time I will be playing the All England. I am going to prepare myself mentally for tomorrow’s match against Lin Dan and I hope I can beat him as I lost to him two months ago in Korea.”
