After a comfortable first-round win over Sweden's Mathias Borg, Pang (below) shocked 11th seed Tian Houwei in straight games and then recovered from a deficit to topple Thailand's Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk.

In the quarter-final he matched Tommy Sugiarto (Indonesia) shot for shot and was unlucky to fall in straight games, having blown game point in the first and leads of 17-11 and 18-15 in the second. Will this be a late turning point in the elegant Dutchman's career?
