XIAMEN, May 2 (Xinhua) -- China swept Malaysia 3-0 in the Sudirman Cup quarterfinals here on Friday, securing a spot in the last four of the world badminton mixed-team championship.
The host nation dominated from the start, with mixed doubles pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping overcoming Chen Tang Jie and Toh Ee Wei 21-17, 21-17, before China's Shi Yuqi delivered a commanding 21-6, 21-14 victory over Leong Jun Hao in the men's singles.
"I found my form quickly in the first game. Though my opponent fought harder in the second, I was fully prepared," Shi said.
Tokyo Olympic women's singles champion Chen Yufei sealed the win, crushing Karupathevan Letshanaa 21-8, 21-7 in just 32 minutes.
"As a team competition, we all give our utmost to score points. Our unity eases the pressure," Chen remarked.
