"This is my first world championships so I am nervous, even now, taking my first-ever interview," said Wang Zongyuan after the match.
Training from six years old, Wang said he improved a lot in recent two years since he was selected from provincial team into the national team.
"I really want to say thank you to my coach Nie Yudi," said Wang, "Not only my skills but also the psychology part of me. So I can be calm and in control today."
"I think I need to just focus on myself, on every movement, just like what I did today." He said about the final on Sunday.
