Intro:
Chen Long and Wang Yihan of China win the men's and women's singles titles at the BWF Super Series Korea Open.
Script:
Finals day at the Korea open, and in the men's singles it was a battle between the world's top two players, Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia and Chen Long of China.
But despite playing in his 51st Super Series final and his sixth straight final in Korea, defending champion Lee looked nervous.
He conceded a 7-0 lead to Chen in the first game and never really recovered losing it 21-14.
The second game was closer but Chen took control towards the end winning his first Korea Open title in style with a winning crosscourt smash.
In the women's singles, Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand, is still unable to get the better of Wang Yihan of China.
Wang started as the favourite with a 7-0 career record over her young Thai rival and that's now up to 8 after her 21-13, 21-19 victory.
An Intanon drop-shot error handed the match to Wang.
In an all-Chinese women's doubles final, Bao Yixin and Tang Jinhua, defeated their compatriots and twin sisters, Luo Ying and Luo Yu, in straight games 21-17, 21-15.
In the mixed doubles final, top seeds Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei of China beat their compatriots Xu Chen and Ma Jin 21-18, 21-18.
Finally, a one-sided men's doubles final, saw top seeds Mathias Boe and Carsten Mogensen of Denmark, beat Fu Haifeng and Wei Hong of China
It finished 21-12, 21-17 and the Danes celebrated their win with a 'Gangnam style' dance that delighted the Korean crowd. Needless to say their badminton skills are far superior to their dancing skills.
