CHENGDU, China (AP) — China underlined its badminton supremacy as it beat Indonesia in the final of both the Uber Cup and Thomas Cup on Sunday.

China, which lost the women’s Uber final to South Korea in Bangkok two years ago, routed Indonesia 3-0. Indonesia was playing its first final since 2008.

Olympic champion Chen Yu Fei provided China with a perfect start when she defeated Gregoria Mariska Tunjung 21-7, 21-16. The Chinese pair of world No. 1 Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan then outplayed Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti and Ribka Sugiarto 21-11, 21-8 for a commanding 2-0 lead.

Teenager Ester Nurumi fought hard for Indonesia before He Bing Jiao recovered to win 10-21, 21-15, 21-17.

“Last time it was a shame that we couldn’t win the Uber Cup, so over the last two years we were always ready, and we were playing at home,” said He.
