Tokyo: Denmark eased into the semifinals of the Thomas Cup, giving no quarter to India in a ruthless 3-0 finish.
A youthful Indian team could not even take a game off the European champions.
Meanwhile, China strolled into the last four and await the winners of the quarterfinal between Indonesia and Japan.
Peter Gade set things up with a comfortable 14 and 8 demolition of Chetan Anand. Kenneth Jonassen followed suit with a 11 and 12 result over Anup Sridhar, while the doubles pair of Eriksen and Hansen were briefly troubled in the second game by Diju and Rupesh Kumar, but sealed their side's win with a 14 and 19 result.
The Uber Cup saw a big upset, with Germany pulling off a 3-2 result over Hong Kong China. Although world No.3 Wang Chen put Hong Kong ahead with a three-game win over European champion Xu Huaiwen, the second and third singles let Hong Kong down.
However, China had no problems against Singapore, whipping them 3-0, with Zhang Ning opening the tie with a 18 and 18 result over Li Li.
