Pui Yin Yip hit back to win a close women's singles against Jang Soo Young, but Lee Jae Jin and Hwang Ji Man put the result beyond doubt with a comfortable 21-16, 21-16 triumph over Albertus Susanto Njoto and Wiratama.

Indonesia, who fell victim to the Koreans on the opening night, re-ignited hopes of matching their 1989 success in the tournament with a narrow 4-1 win over Denmark, with Tine Rasmussen grabbing the Danes' only rubber in the women's singles.

The opening men's singles proved to be the key as Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat emerged as the hero with a 21-18, 18-21, 21-13 victory over world No. 7 Peter Gade.

"In big part of the game I played very good and Taufik also played a good game today," said Gade.

"I had a good chance winning the first game but Taufik controlled the net and it's very important unfortunately. The first game very decisive, he is lucky but also very good."

Denmark will have to face a tough challenge of beating South Koreans on Wednesday to clinch a semifinal spot.
