Chen wins Superseries title

CHINA’S world champion Chen Long finished 2014 on a high by winning the World Superseries Finals, brushing past Hans-Kristian Vittinghus of Denmark 21-16, 21-10 in just 47 minutes.

It was Chen’s fourth major title of the season and he secured it in some style with Vittinghus failing to win another point from 10-10 in the second game.

“I’m happy with my game. This is the first time Dubai is hosting such a big event and I’m very happy with the way it was organized,” said Chen. “I believe that with so many Chinese and Indian people living here, badminton has a great future in Dubai and I’m looking forward to coming back.”

Chinese Taipei’s Tai Tzu Ying beat South Korea’s Sung Ji-hyun for the women’s title. World and Olympic champions Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei beat Chinese compatriots Liu Cheng and Bao Yixin for the mixed doubles title.
