Lee Cheuk Yiu secured a spot in the final in Hong Kong.

After beating Denmark’s Victor Axelsen in Friday’s quarterfinal, Hong Kong China’s home favourite Lee Cheuk Yiu continued his impressive results when beating India’s Srikanth Kidambi to reach Sunday’s men’s singles final of the YONEX-SUNRISE Hong Kong Open. Here he will be up against Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting who beat his compatriot Jonatan Christie in a 81-minute marathon in their semifinal.

Thailand’s star, Ratchanok Intanon also had to fight for more than one hour before she could book her place in Sunday’s final. After losing a close first game against Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi, she overcame her opponent and won the two final games 21-15 and 21-12. In the women’s singles final she will play against in-form Chinese Chen Yu Fei who beat Zhang Beiwen from USA in three games in her semifinal.
