On October 5th Beijing time, the WTT China Grand Slam proceeds with today’s events. According to the updated schedule, two singles champions will be crowned through four matches, all involving the Chinese national team. In the men’s singles semifinals, Lin Shidong faces Lebrun under pressure, while Wang Chuqin battles Xiang Peng in an internal duel. The women’s singles final will be a fierce contest between Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu. The men’s singles final spot remains undecided. The matches will begin after noon, with live coverage on CCTV5!

The first matches to start are the two men’s singles semifinals. The opening match features Lin Shidong vs. Lebrun, both ranked in the world’s top ten, with Lin Shidong holding the second position. This match is quite uncertain; Lebrun poses a significant threat, so Lin must prepare for a tough challenge. Whether Lin can win is hard to predict, but hopefully he will stand firm, take the initiative, avoid retreating from the table, and strive to reach the final. The match kicks off at 12 PM. The other semifinal is an internal clash within the Chinese team, where world number one Wang Chuqin faces the less prominent Xiang Peng, who caused an upset by defeating Brazilian star Hugo in the quarterfinals. Overall, Wang Chuqin is expected to dominate and advance to the final without much trouble, aiming for his third title in this tournament after already winning the mixed doubles and men’s doubles. This match will start at 12:45 PM!
The women’s singles final will be contested between the two main Chinese stars, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu. Both are in excellent form and have once again reached the final, truly deserving their places. These twin stars virtually guarantee this women’s singles title for China. This is yet another peak showdown between the world’s top two ranked players. Recently, they have frequently met in finals; although Sun Yingsha has won more often, Wang Manyu still has her chances. The key lies in their performance on the day. Every encounter between them sparks intense battles full of excitement. The match will begin at 5 PM!
The men’s singles final will start after 6 PM. Whether the Chinese team can secure both champion and runner-up spots depends on Lin Shidong’s ability to stop Lebrun. China aims to sweep all five singles titles. We look forward to thrilling matches ahead. Let’s cheer them on!
