Beijing Olympics and three times world champion Lin Dan booked a much anticipated semifinal clash with world number one Lee Chong Wei at the China Masters badminton super series here on Friday. With two rounds to go, hosts China already booked three titles in the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.

Lin edged South Korean top player Park Sung Hwan 21-15, 13-21, 23-21 in a hard-fought quarterfinal before Beijing Games runner-up Lee eased past China's Du Pengyu 21-19, 21-15 to set up a rematch with Lin.

Lin squandered five match points after leading 20-15 before he clinched the win in 69 minutes, the second longest match in the men's singles by far at this tournament.

"I was slow to find my form because I was not quite concentrated. After the world championships, I have been more focused on preparing for the national games," said the 26-year-old.

"To be honest, I was given a cold sweat by Park, who was perseverant and played well today," he added.

Lee said he was prepared to face Lin.

"I am well prepared now. Lin is a long time rival of mine, so I'd better keep a good state of mind," said Lee, 27.

The Danish ship completely sank at this six-day tournament when third seed Peter Gade, the last Dane left at the event, lost to Thailand's Boosak Ponsana 21-16, 19-21, 21-18.

World number three Gade protested as the umpire ruled a Ponsanastroke inside when he led 11-10 but was met with a warning.
