The other games were status quo.
i.e. Women's doubles Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli beating the lower ranking South Korean opponent.
Boe and Morgensen were somewhat 'upset' by the Indonesian pair of Ahsan/Setiawan.
Lin Dan beat Lee Chong Wei in a rubber game which saw Lee Chong Wei surrendering the game before completion at 16-21, 21-13, 20-17.
Lee Chong Wei claimed he suffered from crams. There was some controversy with the game, as the reports states, that the air-condition in the stadium was switched off in the 2nd game. The reason was the air-conditioned created some draft inside the stadium.
