How it was won
Zhu Yuling completed a Doha double a week after winning WTT Champions Doha, and Zhou Qihao won the men's title without being seeded. Zhu, the second seed, lost the first two games of the final to Japan's Hitomi Sato and then won four in a row, 11-7, 11-6, 11-6, 11-5.
Sato had the week of her career to that point. Unseeded, she beat the top seed, Kuai Man, 3-0 in the last 16 and reached the final without dropping a game in her quarter-final or semi-final.
The men's draw fell apart around Zhou. Ovtcharov beat the top seed, Lin Shidong, in the last 16, and China's Xue Fei knocked out the third seed, Tomokazu Harimoto. Zhou beat the fourth seed, Liang Jingkun, in the first round, then Ovtcharov 3-2 in the semi-finals and Wen Ruibo 4-2 in the final. Wen had beaten Hugo Calderano, the second seed, 3-2 in the semi-finals.
Japan's Sakura Yokoi and Satsuki Odo won the women's doubles, South Korea's Jang Woojin and Cho Daeseong beat Huang Youzheng and Wen 3-2 in the men's doubles, and Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting and Doo Hoi Kem won the mixed.
