KUALA LUMPUR: Kemto Momota reigned supreme as the Chinese shuttlers bagged three titles at the Malaysia Masters on Sunday (Jan 12). Chen Yufei added the women's singles championship to those of the women's doubles and mixed doubles, the finals of which were between Chinese pairs.
As the world's top women's singles shuttler, Chen dominated her opponent, Tai Tzu Ying of Chinese Taipei 21-17, 21-10 in a 37-minute match, with Tai blaming her frequent mistakes for the defeat.
"It doesn't make you better by only ranking the first," she said, adding that she will try to keep her current momentum to maintain her confidence. Mixed doubles top seeds Zheng Siwei/Huang Yaqiong beat fellow Chinese Wang Yilyu/Huang Dongping 21-19, 21-12. In the men's singles, Japan's world No.1 Momota continued his dominance by defeating Viktor Axelsen of Denmark despite a serious challenge by the latter.
