INCHEON, South Korea, Sept. 28 -- China's Xia Xinyi and Ma Yuanyuan were crowned the Asian Games champions after defeating Thailand's Tanaratta Udomchavee and Varapatsorn Radarong 2-0 (21-12, 21-18) in the women's beach volleyball final on Sunday.
Wang Fan and Yue Yuan, also from China, clinched the bronze medal after beating Yupa Phokongploy and Usa Tenpaksee of Thailand 21-14, 21-11.
The final match began with a close battle, but after consecutive service aces by Ma midway the first set, the Chinese pair overwhelmed.
