Zeng raced off to a 5-1 lead in the second game and while Suthasini tried to fight back, she could not handle the pace set by the Singaporean, whose crisp backhand was proving to be particularly problematic to deal with.Sensing the final was slipping from her grasp, Suthasini, 19, decided to take more risks in the third game to try to take the match to Zeng and led 7-6.
There were early moments of nerves for Zeng after that and Suthasini was putting on some top spin on her serve to give her opponent trouble. It was again a tight affair in the sixth game as the lead changed hands several times but Suthasini upped her game to take a three-love lead.
