Japan's Harimoto, Hayata claim titles at WTT Champions Frankfurt

Berlin, Nov 9 (UNI) Japan's Tomokazu Harimoto and Hina Hayata claimed the men's and women's singles titles at WTT Champions Frankfurt, with Harimoto defeating Germany's Patrick Franziska in the men's final.

Second seed Harimoto recovered from losing the opening game to beat Franziska 4-2, denying the German the title in front of his home crowd on Sunday.
Franziska took the first game 11-2 and edged the third 13-11, while Harimoto won the second 11-9 before reeling off three consecutive games 11-8, 11-4, 11-4 to secure the trophy.
Franziska had reached the final earlier in the day by defeating Japan's Shunsuke Togami 4-2 in the semifinals. Harimoto faced a tougher route to the final, prevailing 4-3 against Chinese Taipei's Lin Yun-ju in a seven-game semifinal. After Lin had leveled the match at 3-3, Harimoto held his nerve to take the decider 11-8.

In the women's final, Japan's Hina Hayata defeated compatriot Satsuki Odo 4-2, edging the opening game 12-10 before taking the second 11-3, according to Xinhua.

Odo responded by winning the third game 11-6 and the fifth 11-8, but Hayata took the fourth 11-5 before closing out the match 11-6 in the sixth to claim the title.
