Long over due, finally the badminton girls are getting a piece of the cake! Its been 42 years since a Malaysian girl won a major tournament and she did it right a the play ground of the factory of Badminton players at the China Open.
Her road to the final included defeated reigning world champion Zhu Lin 18-21 21-9 21-13 at the quaterfinals, making short work of China Open defending champion and reigning Olympic champion Zhang Ning 21-16, 21-19 in the semis and then defeating reigning world number 1 Xie Xingfang 21-16, 8-21, 21-17 at the final.
Congrats! I hope this raises the bar to the other girls and they too step up to it and go bag more tittles!
