Defending champion Chen Long advanced into the second round of the Badminton Asia Championships with a comfortable 21-8, 21-8 win over Bahaedeen-Ahmad Alshannik of Jordan in Wuhan yesterday.

鈥淚t was my first game of the tournament. More or less, I was a little nervous,鈥 the third seed said after the 33-minute tie.

Awaiting Shi in the second round is former world No. 2 Kento Momota of Japan. Women鈥檚 top seed Tai Tzu-ying of Chinese Taipei also moved into the second round in central China鈥檚 Hubei Province.
