"We predicted that we would win 3-0, but we were also prepared for the difficult matches that may have come," China coach Li Yongbo said. "We were pleased with the mixed doubles, especially Zheng Bo, who performed great under real pressure, and I'm very happy with the performance of Zhang Ning."

Olympic women's singles champion Zhang Ning made it 2-0 with a 21-14 21-17 victory over world-ranked number 15 Hwang Hye-youn.
