Peter Gade [4] crashed out in his last All England tournament after the match with England's Rajiv Ouseph that lasted until 2 am. The unseeded Taufik Hidayat defeated Chen Jin [4]. This is rather a surprise to me. Looks like it's either Chen Jin isn't performing so well or Taufil is getting steadier lately. Good news for other countries.
