Panaji, Goa, March 5 (Ians) Table Tennis powerhouse China, swept both the singles titles at the first ever Wtt Star Contender Goa, when world number four Wang Yidi brushed aside Chinese Taipei’s Cheng-i-Ching 4-0 in a 37-minute demolition, here at the Dr Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium at Taleigao.

That confirmed the singles sweep as the men’s singles was an all-Chinese affair, in which Liang Jingkun beat 17-year-old compatriot Lin Shidong 4-2 in the best of seven final, which was a much closer affair. This was also Wang’s second consecutive Wtt Star Contender title, after her win in Budapest in July last year.

China all the way in singles

In the women’s singles, Cheng appeared simply outclassed by Yang. Only in the second game there was a moment when both were tied at eight, but beyond that brief period, Wang was in complete control throughout the match.
