Wang Liqin, Hao Shuai, Chen Qi and Hou Yingchao triumphed Thursday night, joining Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Ma Long in the last 16.

Defending champion and second seed Wang Liqin gave a 11-7, 11-5, 11-3, 11-9 beating to Argentina's Liu Song, who plays a chop-and-attack game.

Hou Yingchao, also a defender-cum-attacker, shook off a first set embarrassment in which he had trailed 0-9, as he beat Sweden's Fredrik Hakansson 2-11, 13-11, 11-5, 11-9, 11-6.

Hou was upset over a reporter's question on his first set trailing, saying: "Even if I was three sets down, I would have come back to win the match."

Hao Shuai had been humiliated too, in the third set of his 11-9, 15-13, 0-11, 11-8, 11-5 victory over South Korean penholder Lee Jung Woo.

Chen Qi reached the fourth round after trouncing Chinese Taipei' s Chiang Peng-Lung 11-5, 11-6, 11-8, 11-8.

Ma Lin, four-time World Cup winner who has never won a singles world championship, blanked Spaniard He Zhi Wen 11-8, 15-13, 11-9, 11-8 earlier in the day, while Ma Long whitewashed German Christian Suss 11-8, 11-5, 11-9, 11-5.
