WTT Finals Schedule on December 13: Mixed Doubles Champion Crowned, Men’s Singles Semifinals, Women’s Singles Final, Sha Aiming for the Title

On December 13 Beijing time, the WTT Hong Kong Finals continue intensely on the fourth day of play. The updated schedule shows that today will produce the mixed doubles champion, the men’s and women’s singles semifinalists, and finalize the women’s singles final contenders. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha are vying for the mixed doubles crown, and top-ranked Sun Yingsha may have to play three matches, which will be a real test of endurance!

The day starts with the mixed doubles semifinals, where both Chinese pairs have reached the final four. All will compete today, including Lin Shidong/Kuai Man facing the top-seeded Korean duo Lim Jonghoon/Shin Yubin. The young, dynamic pair from China looks strong and is expected to sweep into the final. Meanwhile, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha will take on the young Japanese pair Matsushima Teru/Suzuki Miwa in a highlight match. Although their opponents are strong singles players, their mixed doubles coordination is not as seamless as the Chinese duo’s, making it likely that Wang and Sun will advance easily. If all goes as expected, the Chinese pairs will claim both gold and silver in mixed doubles. The final will be held tonight, with a high chance of the Wang-Sun pair taking the championship!

Next up are the remaining two men’s singles quarterfinal matches: Lin Shidong versus Xiang Peng in a derby battle. Lin Shidong holds a clear advantage in overall skill and is favored to win, though internal matchups can be unpredictable. The other match features top contenders Harimoto Tomokazu and Lebrun in a highly anticipated clash. Both are strong rivals to China’s team, so whoever loses benefits the Chinese side. Historically, Lebrun has dominated Harimoto, so if Lebrun plays well, he has a good shot at reaching the semifinals!

In the evening, two women’s singles semifinals will take place, where Chinese dominance is evident as all four semifinalists are from China. Thus, both the semifinals and final will be internal Chinese contests, with any result acceptable. Sun Yingsha faces Kuai Man with little difficulty expected, as Kuai Man is overall inferior. The world No.1 is likely to advance to the final with a commanding performance. Chen Yi, who once upset Wang Manyu, could cause another surprise, but Wang Manyu’s strong adaptability probably won’t allow a repeat upset. Let’s wait and see!
