Chinese players Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang won the women's doubles title at Yonex Denmark Open in central Denmark's Odense on Sunday, beating Japanese rivals in two straight sets.

The former world's No. 1 defeated Japanese Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi with a convincing victory of 21-14, 21-14, netting the first gold for the Chinese team.
