Yesterday in Chengdu, the hosts from the Chinese mainland delivered a perfect 8-0 shutout over the Republic of Korea (ROK) at the ITTF Mixed Team World Cup — marking their fifth straight 8-0 victory in the tournament! 🎉
The duo of Lin Shidong and Kuai Man kicked things off strong in mixed doubles, defeating Park Gang-hyeon and Kim Na-yeong 11-5, 14-12, 11-8 to set the tone. Then Wang Manyu breezed through women’s singles with an 11-7, 11-7, 11-8 win, and World No.1 Wang Chuqin sealed the deal in men’s singles by topping An Jae-hyun 11-9, 11-4. 💪🏓
This powerhouse squad has been unstoppable: after a minor hiccup in their opener against the Hong Kong SAR, they’ve blanked Egypt, Chile, Croatia, and now the ROK. Both mixed doubles pairs look razor-sharp, and all six singles players are in top form. 🔥
Up next: the Chinese mainland team faces France in this afternoon’s session. Can they keep the momentum rolling? Stay tuned! 👀
