"This is the most important victory in my career," Chen said. "I am very, very excited. I need to thank everybody in the women's team of China. Without the team work, this title is never possible."

"It was a tough match against Tai. Even when I was leading by a big margin, she never gave up. I told myself to play my best and just focused on my own game."

"This victory will surely boost my confidence and I will try to find how I won the title and hopefully I can do better in the future."

Chen is the first player from team China to win the women's singles final since Wang Shixian lifted the trophy in 2014.
