He went on to a tough challenge in the opening set after Sung displayed a strong determination to take the first game, but in the end, it was the Chinese player who prevailed. In the second set, He had a much easier game and claimed her ticket to the tournament's final stage.
With the favorable result in the final four, He, who scored remarkable victories over Mette Poulsen of Denmark in the first round, India's PV Sindhu in the second round and Chiang Mei Hui of Chinese Taipei in the quarterfinals, will now face Beiwen Zhang of the United States in the finals.
The 26-year-old Zhang defeated the seventh seed Sun Yu of China in two straight sets 21-19, 21-15. The American shuttler is currently ranked No. 19 in the world and a three-time Grand Prix tournaments winner.
Meanwhile, the world No. 19 Shi Yuqi of China continued his winning run with another impressive victory. Shi defeated Hsu Jen Hao of the Chinese Taipei in two straight sets 21-7, 21-15 to advance to the finals of the men's singles event.
