Chu lost the opening game of his semi against Brazil’s Vitor Goncalves Tavares at the Yoyogi National Stadium before two dominant wins to go through 2-1 (15-21, 21-18, 21-10).
Now the 30-year-old Hongkonger will come away with at least silver from Sunday’s showpiece against India’s Krishna Nagar, who made light work of Britain’s Krysten Coombs in the other semi-final.
Nagar, the No 2 seed in Tokyo, won 2-0 in just 26 minutes to earn his place in the gold medal match.
