DOHA, Dec. 13 -- China's Zheng Jie silenced hundreds of noisy Indian fans by beating Sania Mirza in the Asian Games women's singles final on Wednesday, saving some face for an under-performing Chinese women's team.

With just two days of competition left, China is set to beat its gold count of 150 set in the 2002 Asian Games, after piling up nine golds on Tuesday from boxing, cycling, tennis, diving, fencing and hockey to make it 147 in total.

Zheng Jie's gold came after the much-hyped Chinese women's tennis team suffered an early exit from the team event and lost its top singles and doubles seeds on Tuesday, enraging Chinese top tennis officials who called Asia's No. 1 Li Na and Olympic champions Li Ting/Sun Tiantian "irresponsible" and "unprofessional".

Zheng subdued Mirza 6-4, 1-6, 6-1 in a clash lasting almost two hours.

"It was very difficult," said Zheng. "Everyone was supporting Sania, I just told myself to hang on."

Zheng and her partner Yan Zi, doubles champions in Australian Open and Wimbledon Open this year, will fight for the doubles crown with a Chinese Taipei pair.

Five hours after the singles loss, Mirza teamed up with Indian veteran Leander Paes to win the mixed doubles, beating Japan's Satoshi Iwabuchi/Akiko Morigami 7-5, 5-7, 6-2.
