Badminton: Cordon stuns Chinese fifth-seed
Cordon, the world number 36, clinched victory on his fourth match point.
LONDON:
Fifth-seed Chen Long of China tumbled out of the World Badminton Championships, beaten by little-known Kevin Cordon of Guatemala. Cordon, the world number 36, clinched victory on his fourth match point 21-19, 8-21, 27-25 in a 74-minute thriller. “It’s the biggest win in my life by far,” said Cordon. “To play against one of the top players in the first round is not a good draw but that is what you are training for.”
