It was an intense final between the two Chinese women; it was extremely close throughout with both players giving their all in all six sets, however Liu Shiwen was unable to gain a good lead in the sixth set, but with the score tied at deuce the eight thousand strong crowd were on pins with the set looking to go either way.
