The adopted darling of Malaysian badminton fans - Tai Tzu Ying
It was a game of give and take in the semi-final between Wang and Tai, each winning one game to take the match to a decider. At the end of the deciding game Tai staged dramatic fight back; from 17-20 she saved three match points in a row, taking the excitement to fever pitch. At 19-20 she played a spectacular flying return shot and then played a cunning cross court drop in front of the net to bring the scores level; she kept up her charge and went on to win 22-20 and take the match.
