Super Dan is heating up at the All England Open badminton championships.
Lin Dan, China's six-time winner, beat Denmark's Hans-Kristian Vittinghus 21-19, 21-16 on Wednesday, and the 34-year-old two-time Olympic champion will next take on Wang Tzu-wei of Chinese Taipei before a potentially mouth-watering 40th showdown with Malaysian defending champion Lee Chong Wei in the quarterfinals.
The second-seeded Lee knocked off Brazil's Ygor Coelho 21-15, 21-15 in the Wednesday's other match and next faces Lee Dong-keun of South Korea.
