Baek Ha Na and Lee So Hee will contest their sixth title match of the year tomorrow against world No.1s Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan after an incredible back-from-the dead semifinal win over another Chinese tandem in Zhang Shu Xian and Zheng Yu.
Having taken the opener 21-16, Zheng/Zhang were inching towards their second successive Singapore Open final when their Korean opponents reeled off seven straight points from 17-13 down to eventually seal the second game 21-18. The world No.2s then led from start to finish, winning the decider 21-10.
“We weren’t aware of this statistic. But obviously we are delighted to be in another one,” said a surprised Lee when told about final No.6.
