Print Edition
RISING Chinese star Qiao Bin won the men’s singles crown at the Korea Open in Seoul yesterday after outlasting South Korean veteran Son Wan-ho.
The 23-year-old unseeded player, currently world No. 41 in men’s singles, defeated the sixth seed, world No. 8 Son 21-11, 21-23, 21-7. Yesterday also saw South Korean superstar Lee Yong-dae retire from international matches after winning the men’s doubles with Yoo Yeon-seong. The duo staged an upset against China’s Li Junhui and Liu Yuchen — champions at last week’s Yonex Open Japan — 16-21, 22-20, 21-18 in an 85-minute thriller. Lee, 28, with 43 titles under his belt, is the second most successful Superseries player after Malaysian legend Lee Chong Wei. In the women’s tournament, Japanese seventh seed Akane Yamaguchi defeated South Korea’s Sung Ji-hyun 20-22, 21-15, 21-18 while South Korea won the women’s doubles and mixed doubles titles.
