| Lin, also a five times world champion and double Olympic champion, took only 45 minutes to win 21-9, 21-10 in the final.
Tian, nine years younger than his legendary teammate, never looked in contention with the title, giving Lin his easiest match during the whole tournament. The men's singles title was China's only victory in the final. This year witnessed the country's worst performance in 17 years competing at the world's oldest badminton tournament. They had previously won at least two titles each time since 1999. Lin, nicknamed "Super Dan" by his fans, added the title to his collection of wins in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2012, becoming the most successful player here in the past 40 years. "I felt extremely happy," he said. "Since I was here for the first time in 2002, I have played 11 or 12 tournaments, reaching the finals nine times and winning six. It is not easy. You need to maintain good shape each time and play your best." "I never expect the final is so easy," he said. "I made very good prepartion for it. I know I will have a good chance."
