Needless to say, the match was a see-saw battle that saw both sides put up a gritty performance, albeit it was the South Korean pair who emerged victorious over China’s Yue Du and Wen Mi Lei 21-18, 19-21, 21-16 in the semis. 

While the match saw plenty of marathon rallies, some of which went over 50 shots, the game produced a ‘record-breaking’ 195-shot rally which lasted for more than 3 minutes.
