In an all-Chinese women's singles final, All England champion Shixian Wang, seeded second, kept her cool in crucial moments to overcome Olympic champion and top seed Li Xuerui 22-20 21-19 in a 47-minute clash.
After this result, the two have four wins each. World number one Lee from Malaysia was more precise with his strokes and made better judgements on court to defeat Chen 21-13 21-17 in a 55-minute battle to clinch his third title of the season, at the Siri Fort Sports complex here.

Lee, who turns 32 in October, said he might come back next year if he stays injury free. "I dedicate this victory to my son, who will be one-year-old next week. Next is Singapore Open. If I'll remain injury free this year, then I might come back for India Open," Lee said.
Shixian said: "I was confident ahead of the match as I had recently defeated her in the All England. Last year my game wasn't stable."
