China’s Wang Chuqin produced a masterclass at the WTT Champions Macao 2025, storming to the Men’s Singles title without dropping a single game. 🏆 In a commanding final, Wang beat Brazil’s Hugo Calderano 4–0, sealing his dominance and underlining his status as the world’s top contender. I believe Wang will also become WR #1 from next week overtaking China’s Lin Shidong.
While Wang Chuqin owned the trophy, Anders Lind 🇩🇰 and Jang Woojin 🇰🇷 lit up the Macao crowd with fearless, attacking table tennis.
Anders Lind’s Giant-Killing Run
The Danish ace engineered one of the event’s biggest shocks, outlasting top seed Lin Shidong in a seven-game thriller (4–3). Lind’s explosive backhand counters and calm under pressure made his semifinal appearance a career-defining moment, even though he eventually lost to Hugo Calderano in straight games.
Jang Woojin’s Tactical Brilliance
Korea’s Jang Woojin delivered a composed quarterfinal win over Benedikt Duda (4–2) and showcased exceptional touch and speed throughout the tournament. Though halted by Wang Chuqin in the semifinals, Jang’s precision serves and sharp third-ball attacks kept every opponent on edge.
These performance are proving that Europe and Asia’s rising stars are closing the gap on China’s elite, setting the stage for even more interesting table tennis tours in future.
