The 31-year-old, the first Asian-born athlete
to go under 10 seconds in the blue-riband sprint, ran the same
time at Zhaoqing in April.
"The result was satisfying, though my body was not in top form,"
Su told China's state news agency Xinhua after Friday's run.
The time, the seventh legal sub 10-second run of Su's career,
was the joint 13th fastest in the world this year.
Su is set to compete in his third Olympics in Tokyo this summer
and will be a key member of China's 4x100m relay team, which he
helped to a silver medal at the 2015 world championships in
Beijing and fourth at the Rio Games.
"We are not satisfied that we were ranked the fourth at the
4x100 metres relay event last time," Su added. "It'll require a
great effort if we want to take a medal this time, but our goal
has not changed."
