Number of Chou Tien Chen’s consecutive match wins.

His 15th consecutive match win was finally snatched by Chinese legend Lin Dan this week in the China Open semifinals.

Battle of the week
Men’s Doubles runner-up Chai Biao/Hong Wei survived an intensely fought quarterfinal match against Hirokatsu Hashimoto/Noriyasu Hirata in dramatic fashion. They wasted 5 match points of their own at 21-15 20-18 and 21-20, 22-21, 23-22 to go into a decider, and had to trade match points before finally closing out 21-15, 23-25, 26-24 in 72 minutes.
VICTOR STAR of the week: Yoo Yeon Seong
Yoo Yeon Seong, who is the No.1 men’s doubles player with Lee Yong Dae but needed to come through the qualifying rounds to earn their main draw berth in the mixed doubles with his partner Eom Hye Won, made it both to the Sunday finals. Despite loss in 3 to mixed doubles No.1s Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei, he successfully defended the men’s doubles title with Lee. This was the fourth triumph in the season for Lee/Yoo.
Yoo Yeon Seong made both finals this week in men's doubles and mixed doubles.
Title No.4 this season for the World No.1 team, Lee Yong Dae / Yoo Yeon Seong.
