The result fulfilled her ambition to win a title which was taken by Saina Nehwal in DIOSSP 2012. She dedicates the victory for herself.
"I performed well today. The opponent as well played well too. The
victory has been my objective after previously having had poor
performances in the last six months. That made me long for a victory
even more," Xuerui told to the press, Sunday (16/6).
Due to China's domination in women's category, the BWF's number 1
player stated that it is different now since every country is improving, one of them is Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia and Japan.
Meanwhile, to Schenk, the match was her best performance. She did what she could today, "It is no an easy task to defeat the Olympic champion. With the result, I am grateful to the experience I have got during this whole
week," Schenk added.
