Marin seals comeback with China Open singles title

Triple world champion Carolina Marin retained her China Open title yesterday, eight months after suffering a career-threatening injury.

The Spaniard recovered from a game down to defeat Chinese Taipei鈥檚 second-seeded Tai Tzu-ying 14-21, 21-17, 21-18 in Changzhou, eastern Jiangsu Province. A tearful Marin collapsed to the court floor and buried her head in her hands after powering to victory in 65 minutes. 鈥淚t鈥檚 unbelievable,鈥 said the 26-year-old, who injured her anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee in January. 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 imagine during my rehabilitation that I could win in my second tournament back. But I did and I feel so happy with myself,鈥 added the reigning Olympic champion. Japan鈥檚 world champion Kento Momota cemented his place as the top men鈥檚 player with a 19-21, 21-17, 21-19 win over Indonesia鈥檚 seventh seed Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in their final.
