Women’s and men’s singles finals in Malmo follow men’s doubles title success for Hong Kong’s Wong Chun-ting and Baldwin Chan

Sun Yingsha defeated Wang Manyu in the all-China women’s final at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Europe Smash in Sweden on Sunday.

The women’s competition had set up a clash between the rankings’ top two players at the Malmo Arena, as Sun, the world No 1, took on second-ranked Wang.

Both had enjoyed comfortable semi-final victories, in each case an all-Chinese affair. Sun saw off Chen Yi 4-1, while Wang cruised past Shi Xunyao 4-0.

The final, though, was a much closer matter, as Wang found herself 2-0 down before drawing level by claiming the next two.
