Roared on by the home crowd as they played their 16th straight Sudirman Cup final, China went 2-1 up after men's world No. 1 Shi Yuqi crushed 42nd-ranked Jeon Hyeok-jin 21-5, 21-5 in just 33 minutes. All the pressure was on world No. 3 women's doubles pair Baek Ha-na and Lee So-hee to keep the tie alive for the South Koreans, who last won the competition in 2017. But top-ranked women's double duo Liu Shengshu and Tan Ning had other plans, sealing the tie 3-1 with a 21-14, 21-17 victory, throwing their rackets on the ground in celebration in front of the adoring home support at the arena.
