Chinese pairs clinched men's and women's doubles titles at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Star Contender Doha 2024 on Friday.
In the women's doubles final, China's Qian Tianyi/Chen Xingtong, who edged top seed Wang Manyu/Chen Meng earlier, encountered a bit challenge in the third set in their convincing win over Adina Diaconu/Maria Xiao 11-3, 11-1, 11-9.

"We are glad to win our first gold in 2024, but we still must concentrate on the following singles match. We played our style smoothly in the first two sets, but our opponents made some changes during the third set, which did give us some trouble," said Chen.
"I think the key point for us to win is good teamwork; we have been cooperating for years and understand each other very well. We also fully prepared for any difficulty before this match," added Qian.
