China Wins Men's Team Title at Table Tennis Worlds


China Wins Men's Team Title of the World Table Tennis Championships
The Chinese men who survived Saturday's scare prevented a further big scalp for Belgium, winning 3-0 in the men's team final of the World Table Tennis Championships Sunday in Osaka.

World third-ranked Ma Lin, who scored a crucial point in his side's 3-2 win over South Korea on Saturday, beat Belgian former world top player Jean-Michel Saive 18-21, 21-7, 21-15 in the first match.

World number five Liu Guozheng, who saved seven match points en route to sealing the Chinese semifinal win over the tenacious South Korean squad, put China two up by beating Jean-Philippe Saive 21-18, 21-17.

The Saive brothers pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament on Saturday, upsetting defending champions Sweden 3-1.
