Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan captured their sixth title of the year and consolidated their position on top of the rankings with a comprehensive defeat of Mayu Matsumoto and Wakana Nagahara at the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2019 yesterday.
World champions Matsumoto and Nagahara were at the receiving end of a 21-14 21-10 hammering that might take them some time to recover from.
Right from the first point, when Nagahara got a line review request wrong, nothing went right for the Japanese. Chen and Jia were simply too good on every count – moving well, defending solidly, and attacking with power. Even the famed defensive abilities of the Japanese couldn’t stand up to the challenge on the day, with Chen and Jia’s blows hurting them every time.
