BEIJING - Wang Chuqin delivered a masterclass performance on October 5, 2025, dismantling French teenager Felix Lebrun 4-0 in the men's singles final at the WTT China Smash, completing a historic triple crown at Shougang Park in Beijing.

The world number one showcased his superior skills with a commanding straight-games victory, winning 11-7, 11-2, 11-5, 11-7 in front of a roaring home crowd. The 24-year-old Chinese star left no doubt about his dominance in the sport, controlling the match from start to finish against the 19-year-old French sensation who had stunned defending champion Lin Shidong 4-2 in the semifinals.

What makes Wang's achievement truly remarkable is his unprecedented sweep of three titles at the tournament. Beyond the men's singles crown, he also captured both the men's doubles and mixed doubles championships during the event that ran from September 25 to October 5. This triple triumph elevated Wang to historic territory in the sport's ranking system.

Following his victory, Wang's ranking points soared to 10,900, making him the first male paddler to break the 10,000-point barrier in the current ITTF ranking system. This milestone underscores the gulf in class between Wang and his rivals, as he continues to set new standards in professional table tennis.

For Lebrun, despite the lopsided defeat, reaching the final represented another significant step in his rapid development. The French prodigy has been one of the most exciting young talents in the sport, and his semifinal victory over Lin demonstrated his potential to compete at the highest level. However, against a player of Wang's caliber operating at peak performance, the teenager found himself outmatched.

The China Smash served as another showcase of Chinese dominance in table tennis, with the host nation claiming all five titles on offer. Wang Manyu captured the women's singles title, adding to China's comprehensive sweep of the tournament. The event reinforced China's stranglehold on the sport as they continue to produce and develop the world's elite players.

Wang's performance comes at a crucial time in the international table tennis calendar, as players accumulate ranking points and build momentum heading into major championships. His ability to maintain such a high level across multiple disciplines demonstrates not only his technical prowess but also his exceptional physical conditioning and mental strength.

As the table tennis world continues its global tour, all eyes will remain on Wang Chuqin to see if he can maintain this historic form and continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the sport. With the 10,000-point barrier now shattered, Wang has set a new benchmark that will challenge the next generation of players.
