Pressure-free Yufei downs Tzu-ying to lift Malaysian Masters title

CHEN Yufei (pic) showed she is the best bet to redeem China’s battered pride in the women’s singles event at the Tokyo Olympic Games when she oozed class to lift the season opener – the Malaysian Masters.

China had experienced one of their worst outings at the last Olympics in Rio de Janeiro four years ago when they fired blanks in the women’s singles event for the first time but based on Yufei’s current form – their fortune is expected to be reversed in Tokyo.
