Chen Long vs Victor Axelson

World no-1 & top seed Chen Long of China will play against the world no -9 Victor Axelson of Denmark. The former has also defeated Axelson in their last 2 meetings. But the talent and skills of Axelson must also not be undermined, he is in an extremely good form in the tournament & is entering into the finals after defeating much higher seeds which includes Lin Dan & his countrymen Jen Jorgensen in semifinals.

Carolina Marin vs Wang Shixian

It’s a battle of two All England Champions. Twice England Open champion, Wang Shixian is ready to square off this year’s All England champion Carolina Marin of Spain. It was a disappointment for Korean fans to see both their players lose out to Carolina Marin & Wang Shixian. Seeded 4 in the tournament Wang Shixian has already defeated World no-1 Saina Nehwal in the quarterfinal & she has also defeated Marin twice in their last 3 meetings.

Ma Jin/ Tang Yuanting vs Tang Jinhua/ Tian Qing

In an all Chinese affair, 5 seeded pair of Ma Jin and Tang Yuanting will face the 6 seeded pair of Tang Jinhua and Tian Qing. Both pairs are coming into finals by knocking out the top 2 seeds of the Women’s doubles category. It is a match between two evenly matched pairs & can go either way.

Lee Yong Dae/ Yoo Yeong Seong vs Liu Cheng/Lu Kai

World no-1 & top seeded Korean pair of Lee Yong Dae & Yoo Yeong Seong will be up against unseeded Chinese pair of L Cheng & L Kai. World no.1 Korean pair is certainly one of the favorites to go into the finals of Men’s Doubles category.

Liu Cheng/ Bao Yixin vs Lee Chun Hei Reginald/ Chau Hoi Wah

4 seeded Chinese pair Of L. Cheng & B. Yixin will fight for the title against World no-12 & unseeded pair of  L. Chun Hei Reginald & C. Hoi Wah of Hong Kong.
