Wang Chuqin, Wang Manyu claim singles championships at WTT China Smash

Wang Chuqin brushed aside French opponent Felix Lebrun in four games to clinch the men's singles title at the WTT China Smash in Beijing on Sunday. After also lifting the men's doubles and mixed doubles trophies earlier in the week, the World No. 1's singles victory completed a clean sweep of all five crowns for the host nation.

Lebrun served first, but home favorite Wang, who had beaten the 19-year-old in their previous three meetings, took the first game 11-7 when the man from France hit long.

Feeling confident, the 25-year-old increased his aggression in the second, clipping the edge of the table to go up 5-0. A replay showed Wang catching the end of the table by a whisker, enough to claim the point, en route to closing out the game 11-2 with a booming forehand.

The top seed remained unstoppable in the third game, prevailing 11-5 with a powerful smash.

Wang continued to dominate in the fourth game, delivering a blistering smash to move in front 9-7. Lebrun went for a long serve but immediately paid the price, moving one point away from defeat.

The Frenchman then hit long on championship point, as Wang wrapped up the fourth game 11-7 to sweep to the men's singles title, completing his tantalizing three-trophy triumph in Beijing.

In the women's singles final, second-seeded Wang Manyu avenged last year's defeat against Chinese compatriot and two-time world champion Sun Yingsha, winning 4-2 to capture the title.

This match marked the ninth consecutive international final between the 26-year-old Wang and the World No. 1 Sun. Wang came out on top in a long rally to level the first game at 5-5. The two occasional doubles teammates were later knotted at 10-10 as well, but a couple of miscues from Wang allowed the 24-year-old Sun to take it 12-10.

World No. 2 Wang fell behind 5-1 in the second game, but converted four points in a row to pull even at 5-5. She went on to claim the game 11-7 when Sun hit the net.

In the third game, Wang came from 7-4 down to put it away 11-9, taking a 2-1 overall lead in the match. She then dominated the fourth game 11-5 to move one game away from the trophy.

But Sun fought back to grab the fifth game 11-8, closing the gap to 3-2.

The duo engaged in the longest rally of the match in the seventh game, with the exchange lasting 27 shots. Wang prevailed to lead 5-2 and refused to drop another point.

She ended the contest in style on championship point, nailing a forehand in the corner to seal the game 11-2 and win the match 4-2.

Wang's singles victory in Beijing adds to the women's doubles title that she claimed alongside Kuai Man on Saturday.
