Wang Chuqin, the world's No. 2 Chinese star, defeated the world's No. 3 Brazilian player Calderano 4:1 in the men's singles final of the 2025 World Table Tennis Championships in Doha on the evening of the 25th, winning the first three-major men's singles championship in his career, and also retaining China's 11 consecutive men's singles hegemony at the World Championships.

Wang Chuqin, who lost to teammate Fan Zhendong in the final of the last World Championships, had a 4-2 advantage in 6 matches with Caderano in his career, but in the quarterfinals of the Macau World Cup last month, Wang Chuqin lost 3 games in a row with a 3:1 lead in the number of games and was reversed by Calderano. Calderano then defeated world No. 1 Lin Shidong 4-1 in the final to win the first world championship of his career and become the first American player to win the World Cup. Playing again on the same day, Wang Chuqin reversed the trend at 7:10 in the first game, and after resolving 3 game points in a row, he came from behind 12:10 and also played with momentum, and in the second game, he scored 10 points in a row after falling behind 0:2 in the opening game, and then went down 11:3.

Although Calderano pulled back a city 11:4 in the third game, Wang Chuqin responded quickly, taking away 11:2 after a strong start of 5:0 in the fourth game, and also led all the way in the fifth game to force the final point of the game 10:6. In order to be safe, after Calderano resolved the first end point of the game, Wang Chuqin immediately called a timeout, and after returning to the game, Wang Chuqin's decisive backhand twist and pull caused the opponent to return the ball to the net, 11:7 to take away the victory, and also completed the sweet revenge.

In the women's doubles final, the world's No. 5 Chinese "Shuangman Pair" Wang Manyu/Kuo Man easily defeated the world No. 10 Pokanova (Austria)/Szox (Romania) 11:6, 11:5, which is also the third women's doubles gold medal in Wang Manyu's career, and she and Sun Yingsha won the championship together in 2019 and 2021.
