The world number three sped to a<br>\n10-1 lead before sealing the opening set in less than 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>A slow-starter, Susi gained ground in the second when she<br>\nstretched Bang in tiring rallies for a 6-1 lead. Numerous<br>\nunforced errors cost Susi the upper hand, allowing Bang to pull<br>\nlevel. Susi then waited for Bang's mistakes to force a rubber<br>\nset.<\/p>\n<p>Bang played flawless attacking badminton in the decider, a<br>\ncarbon copy of the opening set. The South Korean third seed<br>\nunleashed a flurry of drop shots and smashes to wreck Susi's<br>\nstubborn resilience, winning the prestigious match.<\/p>\n<p>The South Korean last scored a win over Susi in the Sudirman<br>\nCup mixed team championships in May.
