China's Lin 'Super' Dan grabbed his fourth badminton Super Series title of the season with an easy victory over Denmark's Jan Jorgensen in the final of the $250,000 China Open on Sunday.
Lin's win was good news for his girlfriend Xie Xingfang, the twice world champion who officially brought a close to her career in a ceremony at the tournament in Shanghai on Sunday.
"Now Lin Dan's job is to earn money and I am responsible for spending it," the 28-year-old former number one and Beijing Olympic silver medallist told local media on Saturday.
Lin, already a winner of the All England, China Masters and French Super Series titles this year, easily dispensed with world number 12 Jorgensen 21-12 21-12 in his first encounter with the Dane.
Olympic and world champion Lin could be in for another bumper payday at next month's $500,000 Super Series Masters finals in Johor Bahru, Malaysia.
