LONDON, Jan. 28 -- Debutant Wang Shibo of China defeated his compatriot Huang Jungang 15-11, 13-15, 14-15, 15-13, 15-14 in the final to win the title of the World Championship of Ping Pong at Alexandra Palace here on Sunday.
Wang, 34, was in control throughout the first game and continued his dominance in the second, opening up a 6-2 advantage before Huang, 43, fought back to lead at 8-9, with unforced errors few and far between.
The pair remained neck-and-neck for the remainder of the set as both took and won their first of two available double-point balls. Huang, crucially, was first to set point and took advantage to win the game 13-15 and level the final at 1-1.
Huang took the lead for the first time, taking the third game 15-14 and was seemingly closing in on the title when he led 13-6 in the fourth but Wang fought back superbly to force the deciding game.
Again Huang opened up an early advantage in the final game and despite being on the verge of victory at 10-14, saw Wang battle to 14-14 and it was the younger man who then claimed the title by the tightest of margins.
"I am very happy and very excited to win the World Championship of Ping Pong," said Wang. "I am happy it was such a wonderful match for the audience, who were fantastic to play in front of. I feel like playing here is more exciting than playing even in China because the crowd really appreciate our efforts.
"I am tired after a tough game, it was very close but I am so happy to win the World Championship for the first time."
Wang had reached the final with a 15-9, 15-4 semifinal success over last chance qualifier Xue Liang, who himself had defeated defending champion Yan Weihao in the quarterfinals to reach the last four.
Chris Doran had put in one of the performances of the tournament to get past two-time World Champion Andrew Baggaley 15-8, 15-7 in the last eight but the Englishman, who had the vocal backing of the Ally Pally crowd, slipped to an agonising 15-13, 15-13 defeat to Huang in the semis.
