China's Wang Chuqin defeats Japan's Harimoto, winning WTT Finals
（文章来源：Global Times）
China's table tennis player Wang Chuqin
claimed the championship at the WTT Finals
Fukuoka, defeating Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto 4-0
in the men's singles final on Sunday.
The four games ended with scores of 11-2, 11-
8, 11-7, and 11-5, with the entire match last-ing less
than 40 minutes. This marked Wang's third
consecutive victory over Harimoto at the WTT Finals
and secured his position as the year-end world No.1. It also saw him achieve the feat of winning three
consecutive men's singles titles at the WTT Finals.
Before the match, both Wang and Harimoto shared their thoughts on the final.
"[Tomokazu Harimoto] played an excellent match against Lin Shidong. I can sense how the home
crowd in Japan fuels his excitement and passion. He truly fights for every point. I will give it my all to
prepare for this match, and as for the result, I'll leave it to the moment," Wang said.
"Although I've lost to Wang many times, I still have a chance to win. So I want to keep things
simple, plan my strategy well, and fight until the very last moment," said Harimoto.
"Harimoto is a longtime rival. We've played against each other since we were young, so we know
each other very well and have both won and lost," Wang told the media in a post-match interview.
"I didn't expect a 4-0 win. I was well-prepared for a tough match. 2024 has been an extraordinary
year with its ups and downs, but I'm grateful to end it by holding up three fingers," Wang remarked
after the match.
"Harimoto has been in great form recently, playing exceptionally well and showing his best
competitive state. I didn't anticipate this scoreline before the match, as I was prepared to face many
challenges," he added.
"Indeed, today in serving, receiving, rallying, and close-to-table shots, I really had nothing to beat
him with. He was better than me in every aspect; he is the world No.1," Harimoto said after the match.
Historically, Wang holds a commanding 9-2 record against Harimoto. After an early exit in the
singles competition at the Paris Olympics, he faced a slump in performance.
In Fukuoka, Wang gradually rediscovered his rhythm. In the opening round, he defeated Germany's
top player Patrick Franziska and avenged his Olympic loss by overcoming Sweden's Truls Moregard in
the quarterfinals. Additionally, his semifinal match saw him dispatch Darko Jorgic, ranked 16th in the
world, with a confident 4-1 win.
Speaking about his ranking, Wang said, "Achieving world No. 1 feels great, but I don't place too
much emphasis on the ranking itself. What matters more to me is the process of winning."

中国选手王楚钦击败日本选手张本智和，赢得WTT 总决赛
周日，中国乒乓球运动员王楚钦在福冈WTT 总决赛中夺得冠军，在男子单打决赛中以4 比0 击败日本
选手张本智和。
四场比赛以11-2、11-8、11-7 和11-5 的比分结束，整场比赛持续不到40 分钟。这标志着王在WTT 总
决赛中连续第三次战胜张本智和，并确保了他作为年终世界第一的地位。这也见证了他在WTT 总决赛中
连续三次赢得男子单打冠军的壮举。
赛前，王和张本智和分享了他们对决赛的看法。
王说：“张在前面的比赛中表现出色。我能感觉到日本的主场观众是如何激发他的兴奋和激情的。他
真的为每一分而战。我会尽我所能为这场比赛做准备，至于结果，我会留到现在。”。
“虽然我输给了王很多次，但我仍然有机会获胜。所以我想保持简单，好好计划我的策略，战斗到最
后一刻，”张说。
王在赛后接受媒体采访时说：“张是一个长期的对手。我们从小就相互竞争，所以我们非常了解对
方，既赢了也输了。”
王赛后表示：“我没想到会以4 比0 获胜。我为这场艰难的比赛做了充分的准备。2024 年是一个充满
起伏的特殊年份，但我很感激能以三分球结束这场比赛。”
“张最近状态很好，打得非常好，表现出了他最好的竞技状态。赛前我没有预料到这一比分，因为我
已经准备好面对许多挑战，”他补充道。
“事实上，今天在发球、接球、集结和近桌投篮方面，我真的没有什么可以打败他的。他在各个方面
都比我好；他是世界第一，”张赛后说。
从历史上看，王在对阵张的比赛中保持着9 胜2 负的战绩。在巴黎奥运会单打比赛中提前出局后，他
的表现出现了下滑。
在福冈，王逐渐找回了自己的节奏。在首轮比赛中，他击败了德国顶级选手帕特里克，并在四分之一
决赛中战胜了瑞典选手特鲁斯，为自己在奥运会上的失利报仇。此外，在半决赛中，他以4 比1 的比分战
胜了世界排名第16 的达尔科。
谈到他的排名，王说：“获得世界第一感觉很棒，但我不太重视排名本身。对我来说更重要的是获胜
的过程。”
