World Table Tennis: Top-seeded Wang Chuqin lost to Anders Lind of Denmark in the men's singles round of 32, while Kim Na-yeong from South Korea upset the ninth-seeded Miu Hirano of Japan to reach the women's singles last 16 at the World Table Tennis (WTT) China Smash on Tuesday. Lind demonstrated great momentum since the start of the match and edged Wang 13-11 in the first set. Although the world No. 1 came back to take the second set 11-9, Lind triumphed in two straight sets 11-6, 11-7 for a resounding victory.
"It is a moment that I will cherish for the rest of my life, which also gives me a lot of confidence moving forward," Lind said with excitement, according to a report by Xinhua.
The 25-year-old Dane added, "My approach was completely different because I know if I play anything normal, he [Wang] will destroy me. So, I just tried to make it very weird for him with backhand slices with a lot of spin and make him have unforced errors. It was somehow successful, and then I kept doing it and won the match."
