With Wang Chuqin's victory over Lebrun, the China Grand Slam concludes: Chinese national team sweeps all 5 titles, prize money announced

On October 5th Beijing time, the WTT China Grand Slam wrapped up. In the last men's singles final, world No.1 Wang Chuqin from the Chinese national team delivered an outstanding performance, decisively beating Lebrun 4-0 to secure the men's singles title and uphold the team's prestige. Thus, the tournament ended with the Chinese team dominating by winning all five championships, which is very exciting. Additionally, the prize money for the event was revealed: the Chinese team sent 25 players and collectively earned $713,607.50, roughly over 5 million RMB. Wang Chuqin earned the highest individual prize money by winning three titles: women's singles, mixed doubles, and men's doubles. Wang Manyu followed closely, winning the women's singles and women's doubles titles!

Wang Chuqin faced Lebrun. Wang had previously won the Macau Championship, reclaiming the world No.1 ranking. He maintained his steady form throughout this event, facing little resistance before the semifinals and easily reaching the final four. In the semifinals, he met fellow Chinese player Xiang Peng and was pushed to the brink, trailing 1-3. However, Wang staged a remarkable comeback, showing incredible resilience by winning three consecutive games to clinch the match 4-3 and advance to the final!

His opponent in the final was the young French player Lebrun, one of the top talents in the international association with strong momentum and challenge. Lebrun had an explosive run in this tournament, consecutively defeating three Chinese players to reach the final and even eliminated world No.2 Lin Shidong 4-2 in the semifinals. Furthermore, the final started after 6 PM with a very short interval, meaning both Wang Chuqin and Lebrun faced the pressure of playing two matches in one day, which was a huge test of their stamina!

It was expected that Wang Chuqin might face difficulties, but the match turned into a one-sided domination. Wang seemed unaffected by the tough semifinal battle and immediately launched a fierce offensive against Lebrun, who was forced to retreat step by step and struggled to defend. Wang quickly swept four straight games 4-0 with scores of 11-7, 11-2, 11-5, and 11-7, winning decisively!

Judging by the scores, it was a completely overwhelming advantage, leaving Lebrun unable to cope. Wang Chuqin has become increasingly consistent and is undoubtedly the strongest player in Chinese men's singles at present. If Fan Zhendong does not compete in the Los Angeles Olympics, the championship will likely depend on Wang Chuqin. Congratulations to the Chinese team for sweeping all five titles, maintaining their dominant strength!
