Jonassen, the world No. 4 from Denmark, used his lean 6-foot-2 frame to his advantage, covering the court so well in handing the reigning Olympic and world champion a surprise loss.

"It was my first time winning over Taufik in four or five matches," Jonassen told the press after his 21-17, 17-21, 21-12 win, the first for Europe, which lost all three matches Friday.
