He has the game to go all the way and along with his own first World Championship crown, he will be contesting to become the first player from his nation to win the men's singles title at the event.
He will take on Finnish shuttler Kalle Koljonen in his opener and is in line to go head-to-head against Srikanth in the quarters, which could set up a potential showdown against Lin Dan in the final four.
