WTT Singapore Smash: China has secured five titles on offer at the World Table Tennis (WTT) Singapore Smash. The achievement was made as Chinese paddlers triumphed in the men's and women's doubles finals, and sealed all spots in the men's and women's singles title matches here on Saturday.

Competing at their first WTT event as a pair, Wang Chuqin and Lin Shidong showed no signs of unfamiliarity, outclassing the Chinese Taipei pair Lin Yun-ju and Kao Cheng-jui in straight games by 11-2, 11-4, 13-11.

Lin Shidong also reached the men's singles final with a straight-game victory over Frenchman Alexis Lebrun, reports Xinhua. Lin admitted the scoreline has gone beyond his expectations. "He had some high-quality strokes and many changes on his serves. I just stayed focused throughout the game, and when he got back into contention, I managed to win the match through some changes and placement," explained the second-seeded Lin.
