Olympic Champion, Chen Yu Fei, is just one match away to make it three back-to-back LI-NING China Masters titles in front of her home crowd.
In fact, Chen won her first title five years ago in 2018, followed by her second title in 2019. With cancellations in the subsequent three years, she has had to wait patiently for her chance to win a third in-a-row, a feat not achieved before.
Chen secured an efficient two-game win over Korean Kim Ga Eun, 21-16, 21-15. Her opponent in the final will be compatriot Han Yue. Chen Yu Fei has a promising 5-0 record against Han, including two matches this year in France and Denmark.
