If JPN pulls through, both INA and MAS will be jumping over bodies to get to the final. They would probably fancy themselves against JPN.
I wouldn't rule out Du just yet: he's a solid player, if he can handle the pressure he's actually the favourite, even without the momentum going his way at the moment. I'm more worried about the next Doubles game for China... (And, yeah, how can Tago beat Jorgensen AND Chen Long the same week, to lose to Leverdez inbetween? Does'nt make any sense to me, unless Leverdez was using God mode or something. As a Frenchmen, I have to say i'm gutted not to have a single image of the best performance in badminton of my country ever..)
DPY keep lifting and lifting. Kento's net skill is really superb. He must have learned a lot from Kenichi Tago.

Kento please win this. CHN is depending on your defeat to DPY to bring in their 3 Olympic champions: FHF, CN and LinDan to finish off and take over the rest.
