Japanese Matsutomo/Takahashi win women's doubles title at Indonesian Open

Xinhua, June 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

Japanese women's doubles players Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi edged China's Tang Yuanting and Yu Yang 21-15, 8-21 and 21-15 to lift their first Indonesian Open title on Sunday.

The Japanese pair walked away with a prize of 71,000 U.S. dollars while the Chinese duo earned 34,000 dollars.

Ayaka said the victory came after they well adjusted their game in the one hour and six minute final.

"The wind in the arena backlashed our shots, slowing down the ball in the second game. So we tried our best for not to get influenced by this situation in the third game and it was apparently successful," Ayaka said after the final. Enditem
