Chinese table tennis star Wang Chuqin cemented his world No. 1 status in style this weekend, sweeping three titles at the WTT China Smash in Beijing – including a dominant men’s singles final victory over France’s Felix Lebrun! 🎉
The 25-year-old phenom delivered a masterclass 🧠💥, overpowering the 19-year-old French challenger 11-7, 11-2, 11-5, 11-7 in front of a roaring home crowd. Wang’s aggressive play and laser-focused smashes left Lebrun scrambling, with replays showing his shots barely grazing the table edge – talk about precision! 🔥
This win caps off Wang’s historic week after earlier claiming men’s doubles and mixed doubles titles. His triple crown achievement marks China’s clean sweep of all five tournament trophies – proving once again why they’re table tennis’ global powerhouse. 🏆🏆🏆
Lebrun, currently ranked world No. 5, put up a valiant fight but couldn’t crack Wang’s momentum. The French teen’s risky long serves ultimately backfired, with Wang sealing the final point as Lebrun’s return sailed long. 🎯
With this victory, Wang solidifies his lead in the Paris 2024 Olympic qualification race – and gives fans worldwide a preview of what’s to come next summer! 🇫🇷➡️🇨🇳
