Chinese badminton superstar Lin Dan and teammate Chen Long clashed for the men's singles title on Monday.

Olympic champ Lin Dan took on world title-holder Chen Long in an all-Chinese final. But the defending champion Lin got off to a slow start, while Chen, the young star came agonisingly close to taking the crown...leading the first game 7-1 and cruising 21-12 to win the frame.

But Lin fought back in the second, taking advantage of Chen's mistakes for a 6-0 run. Super Dan then leveled the match, 21-16.

In the deciding game, a show of power and agility from the former world number one Lin saw him cruise to another 21-16, as well as the Asian title.
