Rising stars should keep the Chinese girls on their toes

CHINA continued their domination in the women’s singles by winning the title through Li Xuerui, who upset top-seeded compatriot Wang Yihan 21-13, 21-19 yesterday.

But their reign may soon come under serious threat with the emergence of several young talents like Taiwan’s Tai Tzu Ying, Thailand’s Inthanon Ratchanok, Japan’s Sayaka Sato and India’s P.V. Sindhu.
