Last year’s winner Anthony Sinisuka Ginting toughed out a three-game win against India’s surprise World Championships bronze medallist Sai Praneeth B. 16-21 21-6 21-16 in 55 minutes.
He was joined by four-time winner and Olympic champion Chen Long, who progressed to only his fourth semifinal of 2019 with a 21-13 21-13 victory over Hong Kong’s Ng Ka Long Angus.
History is on the line for Olympic champion Chen as he looks to tie Lin Dan as the most winningest player at the China Open with five titles.
