Wen Ruibo clinches men's singles title at WTT Contender Taiyuan

China's Wen Ruibo staged a strong comeback to defeat Japan's Maharu Yoshimura in six games and win the men's singles title at the WTT Contender Taiyuan in north China's Shanxi Province on Sunday.

The 19-year-old dropped the first and third games but responded with authority to secure a 7-11, 11-8, 6-11, 11-6, 11-4, 11-2 victory and sealed his first singles title at the event.

Wen enjoyed a standout campaign in Taiyuan, also teaming up with Li Hechen earlier in the day to capture the men's doubles gold, as Chinese players swept four titles at the tournament.

The result lifted Wen to a career-high World No. 11. He said the victory helped him move past the disappointment of his round-of-16 exit at the World Cup earlier this month.

"I let out a yell after I won," Wen said. "I was really down after getting knocked out of the World Cup, so I wanted to prove something here."

In the women's doubles final, fourth seeds Shi Xunyao and Han Feier defeated Doo Hoi Kem and Ng Wing Lam of Hong Kong, China 11-6, 11-4, 6-11, 12-10.

Playing together for the first time, Shi and Han showed strong chemistry and composure under pressure. Shi also won the mixed doubles title a day earlier to leave Taiyuan with two trophies.
