China men's team cruised into the final of Thomas Cup badminton tournament here on Friday with a 3-0 blitz of South Korea in the semis.

China advances to final after beating ROK

It's the first time for China in 14 years that both their men'sand women's teams romped into the tournaments' finals as their women had already qualified for the Uber Cup final with an effortless 3-0 victory over Japan.

World number one Lin Dan came through a tough opening game to beat top Korean Lee Hyun Il 15-11, 15-2 before Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng, the world's second-ranked doubles pair, triumphed 15-13, 15-11 against Lee Dong Soo and Kim Dong Moon.

Tall left-hander Bao Chunlai, the world number four, then succumbed 15-2, 15-5 to Shon Seung Mo with his trademark heavy smashes and pinpoint drops.

The Chinese men will next play Indonesia or Denmark for the Thomas Cup on Sunday.

"It doesn't matter whether it's Indonesia or Denmark -- we'll be ready to play them," said China's head coach Li Yongbo.

Denmark challenge China in Thomas Cup final

The Danish men's badminton team trashed host Indonesia with a 3-2 win at the Bung Karno Indoor Stadium in Jakarta just after midnight Saturday to secure the last place in the Thomas Cup final, where China were qualified earlier.

Indonesia took the first lead from its singles Sony Dwi Kuncoro who beat Peter Gade 15-4, 15-8. Danish pair Lars Paaske/Jonas Rasmussen made the equalizing win of 15-13, 15-7 over Flandy Limpele/Eng Hian.

Indonesia's coach Christian Hadinata looked particularly unhappy on the bench when his doubles could not cope with the pressures and Eng Hian frequently wasted the shuttlecock for nothing.

Indonesia again gained a point from another singles, Asian champion Taufil Hidayat, who played a rubber match with Kenneth Jonassen and won 15-5, 13-15, 15-7.

Denmark was back in the tie when Jens Eriksen/Martin Lundgaard edged Chandra Wijaya/Tri Kusharyanto 15-10, 2-15, 15-4 with bright prospect in the last singles match.

As predicted, Indonesian debutant Simon Santoso was no match toveteran, but still powerful Peter Rasmussen and surrendered 3-15, 13-15.

The Sunday's final will be the seventh for Denmark, but its first against China. Since the men's world team championship was held in 1949, Denmark has never won a title.
