China got off to a winning start from world No 2 mixed doubles pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping.
XIAMEN: China beat South Korea 3-1 in the Sudirman Cup final to capture a record-extending 14th title at the biennial mixed team competition in the Chinese city of Xiamen on Sunday. Having won the last three Sudirman Cup editions, China were favourites against four-time winners South Korea and got off to a winning start from world No 2 mixed doubles pair Feng Yanzhe and Huang Dongping.
However, that lead did not last long as women’s top-ranked player and Paris Olympic champion An Se-young levelled the tie by defeating world No 2 Wang Zhiyi 21-17, 21-16. Roared on by the home crowd as they played their 16th straight Sudirman Cup final, China went 2-1 up after men’s world No 1 Shi Yuqi crushed 42nd-ranked Jeon Hyeok-jin 21-5, 21-5 in just 33 minutes.
