World Table Tennis: The 2024 World Table Tennis (WTT) Finals saw China's Wang Chuqin and Wang Manyu claim men's and women's singles titles respectively here on Sunday. In the men's singles final, world No. 1 Wang Chuqin faced Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto in a highly anticipated match. The two had previously met in the men's singles final of the 2022 WTT Cup Finals, where Wang emerged victorious with a 4-2 win.

Wang started the match with a flawless opening game, scoring 10 consecutive points to take the game 11-2, reports Xinhua. Although Harimoto regained his rhythm in the second game, he struggled to find his footing against Wang's relentless offence and lost 11-8. Wang maintained his momentum, taking the next two games 11-7 and 11-5 for a 4-0 victory.

This marks Wang's third consecutive WTT Finals men's singles title, following wins in the 2022 and 2023 WTT Cup Finals, reports Xinhua.
