Jan O Jorgensen’s hopes of becoming the third World Men’s Singles champion from Denmark were crushed in a devastating 23 minutes. The third round of the tournament brought unexpected pain and disappointment for the world No.3 as an injury to his right knee forced him to retire after just two points against Chen Chou Tien of Chinese Taipei. Jorgensen, visibly gutted, described the moment as a burst dream. He had been preparing well and had a good draw, making the situation even more difficult to accept.
In light of Jorgensen’s retirement, Chen moves on to face another Dane, Viktor Axelsen, in the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, top-seeded Malaysian Lee Chong Wei seems to be keeping enough fuel in the tank for a chance at his third consecutive final. Chen Long, with his impressive athleticism, secured a solid win over India’s Kidambi Srikanth, while Tommy Sugiarto of Indonesia continued his pursuit of a medal with a victory over Hu Yun of Hong Kong.
