In a low-spirited battle,<br>\nPark exercised control over Sun with his swift, unexpected<br>\nchanges from defensive to attacking positions. Park's painstaking<br>\naccuracy and self-control often put Sun Jun in difficult<br>\npositions and forced him to return haphazardly.<\/p>\n<p>Park powered his way to victory over Sun Jun after overcoming<br>\nChina's sixth-seed Don Jiong in the semifinals and sending<br>\nIndonesia's Olympic champion and top seed Alan Budikusuma<br>\ncrashing out of the quarterfinals on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The other title China lost was the men's doubles, in which<br>\nCheah Soon Kit and Yap Kim Hock of Malaysia knocked off Huang<br>\nZhanzhong and Jiang Xin 7-15, 15-8, 15-7.<\/p>\n<p>In the women's singles, China's number one Ye Zhaoying trashed<br>\ncompatriot Yao Yan 11-2, 11-0. Gu Jun and Ge Fei routed Qian<br>\nYiyuan and Tang Yongshu 15-1, 15-4 in the women's doubles. Liu<br>\nJianjun and Ge Fei defeated Jiang Xin and Zhang Jin 15-4, 12-15,<br>\n15-5 in the mixed doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Following Alan's quarterfinals exit, Indonesia, which fielded<br>\nits second stringers, was only able to reach the semifinals of<br>\nthe men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles.<\/p>\n<p>Officials of other teams said Indonesia could have dominated<br>\nthe tournament if their top players, currently preparing for<br>\nMay's world championships, had taken part.
