This Thursday, top-seed Wang Chuqin pulled off an epic come-from-behind win over Lin Gaoyuan at China's 15th National Games in the Macao SAR. 🏓
The World No. 1 was pushed to the limit in a nail-biter that swung back and forth. After splitting the first two games, Wang faced a 10-5 deficit in Game 3.
