Viktor Axelsen (Denmark) vs Scott Evans (Ireland)

Denmark's badminton player Viktor Axelsen is one of the top seeded athletes that fans hope to see in the semifinals. It may not be that easy for Scott Evans to defeat the world-class shuttler.

The real test in 2016 Rio Olympics might just begin for Lin Dan and Lee Chong Wei

So far, superstar Lin Dan has not had any difficulty cruising to quarterfinals. His opponent on Wednesday will be determined by the result of Rio Olympics badminton men's singles round of 16. The Chinese athlete and his golden shoes have become the talk in Rio Olympics badminton. The two-time Olympic champion plans on his third winning. Being reached out for comment by Xinhuanet, Lin said, "So far, so good."

This goes the same with Lee Chong Wei who collects easy path to next round. As New Straits Times reported, Lee does not like the idea to have the two-day break before his next match due to receiving a bye. The athlete said that he would prefer to play everyday so he could finish the tournament soon.

Fans of both players should expect them to meet in the final round and in the meantime, let's see how things go for the other shuttlers!
