Chinese table tennis powerhouses Sun Yingsha and Lin Shidong served up victories at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Singapore Smash this weekend, cementing China’s dominance in the sport with a clean sweep of all five titles!
Sun’s Triple Crown Reign 
World No. 1 Sun Yingsha battled compatriot Kuai Man in a thrilling women’s singles final, winning 4-1. Despite Kuai’s fierce comeback in the second game, Sun’s razor-sharp focus secured her third WTT Grand Smash singles trophy. \"I gave it my ALL,\" said Sun, who now holds a record 14 WTT singles titles.
Lin’s Historic Rise 
Nineteen-year-old phenom Lin Shidong smashed his way to victory against Liang Jingkun in the men’s final, claiming a hat-trick of wins in singles, doubles, and mixed doubles. His electric performance will propel him to world No. 1 next week — a first for his career! \"This is just the start,\" said Lin, proving age is just a number.
Young Guns Shine 
While Sun and Lin grabbed headlines, Kuai Man also made history as the youngest player to reach a WTT Grand Smash final. Both athletes embody China’s next-gen talent, blending skill and sportsmanship.
