China's Wang Chuqin won his first men's singles title at the 2026 ITTF Men's & Women's World Cup in Macao, narrowly defeating Japan's Sora Matsushima 4-3 in a thrilling final on Saturday evening (April 5).
In a closely contested seven-game match, Wang lost the opening game 9-11 before narrowly taking the second 18-16 and winning the third 11-8.
Matsushima responded by claiming the fourth 13-11 and the fifth 11-8, but Wang rallied strongly to secure the final two games 11-4 and 11-8 to seal the championship.
With Wang's victory and Sun Yingsha's earlier triumph in the women's singles, China swept both singles titles at this year's Macao World Cup.
