"Our opponents were not in a fit condition which of course affected their performance in the match," Zheng said.

"Honestly, their performance was usually not like that," he added.

Meanwhile, Huang said that supporters in the arena also contributed to their victory.

"We thank our supporters in Indonesia for keeping their supports on us, We are so happy we can be the winners here again," she said.

In the same tournament last year, Zheng/Huang beat Indonesia's top shuttlers Tontowi Ahmad/Liliyana Natsir.

Tontowi/Liliyana, who are the champions at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were defeated with scores of 19-21, 21-19 and 21-16.
