The pair defeated the Chinese Taipei duo 21-14, 21-16 in 40
minutes.

points in a row to take the game with 21-14.
Leading 7-5 in the second game, the Chinese pair never looked
back again and ran to the final victory with 21-16.

"I feel excited as I never won a title here in Macao," said Xie,
"I think that we are equally strong players and we won because we
are a little bit mentally stronger today."
