World No. 1 Tai Tzu-ying of Taiwan defended her title at the Denmark Open yesterday, defeating world No. 4 Nozomi Okuhara 21-17, 21-14 in the women’s singles final in a tactical match that lasted 40 minutes.

Tai played a superb net game in her fifth final of the year and put pressure on the deep forehand of the Japanese shuttler.

The 24-year-old Okuhara attempted to get back into the match by delivering smashes down the line to trail Tai by only a few points for most of the first game.

However, Okuhara’s indecisiveness got the best of her after 25-year-old Tai won the first game 21-17.
