Tournament preview
First, congratulations on the women's singles securing both the gold and silver medals; the national team has achieved this for three consecutive years, demonstrating formidable strength.
In the women's singles final, Sun Yingsha faces Wang Manyu. Sun Yingsha has won the title twice consecutively, defeating Wang Manyu in 2024 and Kuai Man in 2025. This year's final is against Wang Manyu again, and I hope Wang Manyu can win the championship this time. Of course, their abilities are evenly matched, and either could win. What do you think?
In the men's singles final, Wang Chuqin faces Kaito Matsushima. Historically, Wang Chuqin has held the advantage, but recent matches have been unfavorable for him. Wang Chuqin has not yet won a World Cup singles title; this is the major tournament he has yet to conquer. If Wang Chuqin can stabilize his reception and avoid errors, not being disrupted by his opponent's fast pace, he could win. If Matsushima consistently employs serve-and-attack tactics and drags the match into a high-risk battle, he could prevail. Personal prediction: Wang Chuqin wins 4-2 or 4-3, securing his first World Cup men's singles championship. What do you think?
