In the Uber Cup women's game Monday afternoon, China defeat Germany 4-1. World No. 1 Xie Xingfang swept past Xu Huaiwen, representing Germany, 21-10, 21-13 while Zhu Lin had some troubles when she played against German Julianne Schenk.

Zhu was not so comfortable with her strokes and made a number of unforced errors. Later, Zhu regained her momentum thanks to her sharp drop shots and smashes to end Schenk's resistance 21-18, 21-13.

China's head coach Li Yongbo said that he was satisfied with the performance of China's women squad today, saying "their job well down".

In spite of Zhang Ning's absence - the Olympic champion is said to lack fitness - the line up of the Chinese squad is impressive. Xie Xingfang, Lu Lan, Zhu Lin and Jiang Yanjiao are able to deliver enough points to secure China's victory.
