font size    

World's number one duo Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen ensured all Chinese women's double final in the Indonesia Open badminton tournament following a straight win over South Korea's Lee Kyung Won/Ha Jung Eun in Jakarta on December 18.

Unlike their previous matches at the noisy Bung Karno Tennis Indoor Stadium here, top seed Yang/Zhang demonstrated impressive attacking play and poured their South Korean opponents with sharp smashes without giving a chance for long rallies.

The Olympic champions sealed the match 15-3, 15-5 to secure a berth in final.

Another final spot was grabbed by third seeds Zhang Dan/Zhang Yawen who beat compatriots Du Jing/Yu Yang 13-15, 15-8 and 17-14.

China also secured final spots in men's singles after Chen Hong overcame compatriot Bao Chunlai 6-15, 15-6 and 15-9 and in women's singles with young talent Xie Xingfang trashing Hallam Tracey of England in a straight 11-4, 11-4 victory.
