Chinese Chen Hong Reaches 3rd Round at Badminton Worlds
World number four Chen Hong cruised into the third round of the world badminton championships after beating Indra Wijaya of Singapore 15-4, 15-8 in the men's singles Wednesday in Seville.
Chen, ranked fourth in the world, was the first Chinese player to reach the men's singles third round after Olympic champion Ji Xinpeng suffered a surprise elimination earlier.
"I told myself before the match that I must do my utmost. Any error could send you home," said the 22-year-old, who scored a decisive point in China's lifting their fourth Sudirman Cup mixed team champion last Saturday.
