Top seeds Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu of China battled through five games to edge Miwa Harimoto and Satsuki Odo of Japan  9-11, 13-11, 11-8, 11-13, 11-2 to win the women’s doubles title at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Europe Smash in Malmo, Sweden, on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The Chinese duo were not in their best form early in the match, squandering a 9-8 lead in the first game after conceding three straight points. They bounced back in the second with a 5-1 start and soon extended their edge to 10-6. Although the Japanese pair saved five game points, Sun and Wang finally prevailed 13-11 to level the match at 1-1.<\/p>\n

The top-seeded team maintained their momentum in the third game, scoring six consecutive points after trailing 2-1, en route to claiming the frame 11-8. The fourth game featured multiple twists and turns after Harimoto and Odo jumped out to a 5-2 lead, but then allowed six points in a row. The Japanese duo then scored five straight points to regain the advantage before clinching the game 13-11 and forcing a decider.<\/p>\n

Sun and Wang completely dominated the fifth game as they cruised to a quick 11-2 win to secure the 3-2 victory, adding a second title for their country at the inaugural edition of this event, after Lin Shidong and Kuai Man topped the podium in mixed doubles on Friday.<\/p>\n

Sun and Wang will face each other on Sunday for the women’s singles title after the top two players in the world rankings both advanced out of all-Chinese semifinals.<\/p>\n

Sun’s opponent was China’s biggest surprise Chen Yi. The World No. 1 took the first two games 11-2 and 11-3. Chen then pulled back the third 11-3, before Sun slammed the door 11-7 and 11-9 to reach the final.<\/p>\n

In the other last-four clash, Wang swept past Shi Xunyao 11-7, 12-10, 11-3, 11-7 to set up a tantalizing tussle with her doubles partner for the top individual prize.<\/p>\n

China remains in the running for the men’s singles championship as well, after top seed Lin Shidong edged Simon Gauzy of France in seven games.<\/p>\n

World No. 1 Lin took the opener 11-4, but then dropped three in a row 11-7, 11-9 and 11-5, falling into a desperate situation. But the 20-year-old rallied to snatch three consecutive games 11-8, 11-9 and 11-7, completing an epic comeback to advance to the final where Swedish sixth seed Truls Moregard awaits.<\/p>\n

The men’s doubles competition wrapped up with sixth-seeded Wong Chun Ting and Chan Ho Wah of the Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) defeating third-seeded Lin and Huang Youzheng of China in five games 7-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-6, 11-8 to win the title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
