In the semifinals, their opponents were another pair from Indonesia who was currently holding the title as world number 3. You could say that Indonesia had many good athletes in this sector, and it was no wonder they dominated the top 10 world athletes in men's doubles.
It seemed how Lin Zhu and Ye Quan had managed to clear away the odds in the form of the world number 1 in the quarterfinals was already grueling and nerve-wracking, but they had to go up against the world number 3 today.
Most people doubted that they would be able to win today's match, and there were two reasons behind that doubt. The first reason was, of course, because the ranking of the two was far behind the Indonesian pair, and the second reason was because of the dating rumors involving them.
