The day before, Chinese superstar Lin Dan came back in the years and quickly began his challenge at the World Badminton Championships on Monday. The 34-year-old is looking for a sixth world title. In front of a partisan crowd in Nanjing, "Super Dan" did the light work of Dutchman Mark Caljouw, winning 21-14, 21-14 in 49 minutes. Viktor Axelsen, Denmark's champion and seed and title world champion, was even more energetic, taking only 26 minutes to beat Duarte Nuno Anjo of Portugal 21-8, 21-7 in an imbalance. Shi Yuqi, China's third favorite, was crowned 21-13 and 21-11 winners against Adam Mendrek of the Czech Republic.
