介绍:
Ma Long wins men's singles at World Championships
China's Ma Long wrapped up the World Table Tennis Championships in Suzhou as he took the last title in men's singles.
Ma beat compatriot Fang Bo 4-2 in the final.
It was his first world title and one that has been a long time coming for Ma.
"I have waited for this day for too long. I lost in the semifinals the previous three times. After this morning's game a reporter asked me if I was ready, I said I hope there will be good results. And in the end I did it."
Head coach of China's men's team Liu Guoliang was glad that Ma Long's hard work paid off.
"It was a well-deserved victory for Ma Long. It was his fifth world championships. The goal for Ma and his coach during trainings was to train him to the very limit, and this is where it all pays off."
Ma Long also teamed up with Germany's Timo Boll in the men's doubles but fell to Xu Xin/Zhang Jike in the second round.
