Chinese Paddlers Experience Mixed Fortunes At 2024 WTT Finals
World Table Tennis: The 2024 World Table Tennis (WTT) Finals continued with Chinese paddlers advancing to the semifinals in both men's and women's singles while the women's duo Qian Tianyi/Chen Xingtong faced elimination, marking a bittersweet day here on Friday. In the men's singles quarterfinals, defending champion Wang Chuqin faced off against Truls Moregard of Sweden in a highly anticipated matchup. Wang started strong, taking the first game 11-6. In the second game, Moregard regained his footing, surging to an 8-2 lead.
Wang rallied to close the gap to 9-10, prompting Moregard to call a timeout. The Swedish Olympic silver medalist returned to secure the final point and level the match. Wang, however, maintained his composure and won the next two games, sealing a 3-1 victory to book his spot in the semifinals, reports Xinhua.
"I approached this match as a challenger," Wang said post-match. "You could see that he has made significant progress and is in excellent form, so I had to give my all for every point." Wang will next face Slovenia's Darko Jorgic, who earlier defeated Germany's Benedikt Duda 3-0.
