    backhand push by SHon just out, 13-10, CHens confidence seems to be dipping. COmmentators keep saying his rhythm is too slow

    Shon starting to play lke he did in WC2003, keeping the shuttle going and wearing down CH's attacks, playing battle of attrition. SSM had two pretty easy games, while CH had two very difficult ones, so SSM should have advantage in stamina

    but match point to CH

    14-10 Game point after a shot just lands in.
    10-14, tight netshots by Shon, and Chen's cross-court net shot doesn't quite make it.
    but error forced from Shon by Chen's smash regains game point.

    I am not sure Chen is going to win this. SSM looks a lot into the game now. Don't understand why Chen slowed it down.

    The crowd is chanting "Chen Hong Jia You!". But Shon smashes crosscourt and has Chen diving.
    Shon seems more positive, and is returning some of Chen's smashes.
    2-0 Shon, as Chen makes an error at the net.
