PARIS, Aug 30: China's Chen Jin went one better than last year to lift the men's singles world badminton title on Sunday, subduing Indonesia's Taufik Hidayat 21-13, 21-15 in the final.

His victory highlighted a brilliant day for China who for the first time since 1987 took all five titles.

Chen had finished runner-up in 2009 when he lost to compatriot Lin Dan but Lin was beaten this time round in Friday's quarter-finals, leaving centre stage for Chen.

The Chinese took his chance with both hands, often outplaying Hidayat, world champion in 2005 and Olympic gold medallist in 2004.

Chen raced into a 7-0 lead in the first set and though Hidayat fought back, two errors at the end handed the advantage to the Chinese.

Defending superbly when necessary, Chen led 6-2 in the second and generally called the shots. Hidayat bravely saved three match points from 20-12 but Chen was not to be denied.

“Mentally I was very strong today. I prepared very well and I didn't let Taufik play to his strengths, particularly around the net,” Chen told a media conference.

Hidayat said: “I tried my best today but made too many mistakes. I was able to get single points but not put a run together.”

Chen's victory formed part of a Chinese clean sweep of the five titles.

In an all-Chinese women's singles final, seventh seed Lin Wang beat Wang Xin, seeded three, 21-11, 19-21, 21-13.

The mixed and women's doubles were also China-only finals with Zheng Bo and Ma Jin winning the former and Du Jing and Yu Yang the latter.
