Kento Momota won his 10th title as Japan's world number one defeated Taiwan's world number two Tien-chen to retain his Fuzhou China Open Badminton crown on Sunday. Momota battled past Chou 21-15, 17-21, 21-18 at Fuzhou.
Home hope Chen Yufei similarly successfully defended the women's title with a victory over Japan's
Nozomi Okuhara.
Chen lost the first game 21-9 to Okuhara but recovered to lift the Fuzhou title for the second year in a row by winning the next two 21-12, 21-18. It was more disappointment for Okuhara, who has now lost all six finals, she has contested this year.
