In Beijing, Wang Chuqin delivered a performance for the ages at the WTT China Smash 2025, capturing an astonishing three titles: men’s singles, men’s doubles (with Lin Shidong), and mixed doubles (with Sun Yingsha).
In the men’s singles final, Wang dominated French star Félix Lebrun, winning 4–0 in a display of skill, precision, and tactical mastery. His campaign through the tournament was near-perfect, leaving no doubt why he continues to be the player to beat on the international circuit.
Dominance Beyond the Scoreline
While the scores were commanding, it was Wang’s quality of play that truly impressed. From early control of rallies to sharp serve returns, fearless backhand openings, and an exceptional winning-point ratio, Wang showed complete mastery. The official WTT match sheet reflected a one-sided final, capping a week in which he had already secured both doubles titles.
China’s Continued Supremacy
Wang’s triple crown was part of a broader statement from Team China, which swept all five titles at the tournament. With Wang Manyu capturing the women’s singles, China’s delegation showcased remarkable depth, precision, and consistency, turning the event into a testament of the nation’s enduring table tennis dominance.
Responding to Recent Doubts
These results also serve as a clear response to speculation that China might be losing its competitive edge. While European nations are rising fast, China remains the standard-bearer of world table tennis, and Wang Chuqin is its brightest symbol today.
