Indonesia Masters Live: Kento Momota cruises to semifinals- Badminton world number one Kento Momota easily secured his ticket to the Indonesia Masters semifinals after a decisive win over Rasmus Gemke on Friday.

Japan’s Momota beat the Dane 21-15, 21-5 in 43 minutes on the resort island of Bali.

The Indonesia Masters is taking place without fans and in a bubble because of the coronavirus.

It is the first of three back-to-back tournaments taking place in Bali, culminating in the season-ending World Tour Finals.

Tour badminton has been badly hit by the pandemic, with these the first tournaments in Asia for 10 months.
