2023 Sudirman Cup: China vs South Korea final result, score, & event summary
Korea’s Seo Seung Jae & Chae Yu Jung were defeated by Olympic mixed doubles silver medalists Zheng Siwei & Huang Yaqiong by score of 21-18, 20-22, 8-21 and allowed the hosts to steal the opening point. Shi Yuqi, the world’s number 10 in the men’s singles, had a much easier day in the final. In his tie against Lee Yung Gyu, the Chinese shuttler managed to claim straight-set victory by score of 21-13, 21-17. With this win, China came within inches of triumph after they came perilously close to losing against Japan on Saturday.
Although Korean fans were optimistic that in-form Korean youngster An Se-young would emerge victorious in her tie against Chen Yufei, the reigning Olympic champion produced a masterclass. Ultimately, she won the match 21-16, 22-20 to make it 3-0 for China and ensured that the hosts lift their third consecutive Sudirman Cup. Since shocking China in the 2017 final on Australia’s Gold Coast, South Korea hadn’t competed in a final until this one.
