Three Chinese Women Reach Singles Semifinals

How to beat Chinese women? Put them at the two ends of the table.

Two Chinese players lost in the women's singles quarter-finals on Friday -- to their higher ranked teammates.

World number one Wang Nan ejected fellow Chinese Li Nan 21-13, 21-12, 21-15, setting up a semifinal clash with world number two Zhang Yining, a five-set winner over Niu Jianfeng in an all- Chinese quarter-final.

Zhang, who squandered a two-set lead to lose to Wang Nan in last championship final, outlasted the 25th-ranked Niu 21-14, 17- 21, 21-18, 17-21, 21-12.

Chinese world number 14 Lin Ling blanked Chinese-born Austrian Liu Jia 21-17, 21-18, 23-21.

In the only quarter-final worth attention, Kim Yun Mi from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea trounced Romanian Mihaela Steff 22-20, 21-11, 21-15.
