China eased past South Korea in straight sets to improve its win-loss record to 2-0 at the 2009 FIVB World Grand Prix here on Saturday. Cheered on by raucous home spectators at the Beilun Sports and Arts Center, the Chinese women scored a lopsided 25-15, 25-21, 25- 14 victory.

Six-time world champion Russia joined China as the undefeated team in the competition after fending off a spirited challenge from the Dominican Republic for a 25-21, 25-27, 19-25, 25-11, 15-10 win.

China and Russia will renew their rivalry when they meet on Sunday to decide the winner of the four-team, round robin competition. The Russians lost to China twice in the past two Olympics - the gold medal match in Athens and the quarterfinal in Beijing.

China's Wang Yimei was the star of the match, scoring a game-high 18 points. Ma Yunwen added 11 points and Xue Ming 10 points for the Chinese. Kime Yeon-Koung top-scored for South Korea with 11 points.

Wang was highly efficient in the first set, where she won 10 points through her hard-hitting spikes.

"She (Wang) was very powerful in attack, and we could not find a solution," said South Korea coach Lee Sung-hee.

China's coach Cai Bin said he was not satisfied with his young team despite the comfortable victory.

"My players were not fully focused in the third set when leading by a big margin. It was dangerous. I will not allow that to repeat in future," said Cai.
