Olympic champions Wang/Sun into table tennis worlds mixed doubles semis

Doha, May 22 (UNI) Olympic champions Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha overcame a slow start to
beat Japan 3-1 in the World Table Tennis Championships mixed doubles quarterfinals on Thursday.
The second-seeded Chinese pair were able to shine at clutch moments, beating fifth seeds Sora Matsushima and Miwa Harimoto 6-11, 11-9, 11-9, 11-9.
"I had thought we were going to lose this match easily," said Matsushima.
"We played better than we had expected. We felt depth and tenacity from each strike by the
Chinese. The barrier separating us is really high." Matsushima added that he and Harimoto
had seen a glimmer of hope midway through the contest.
"If we had taken the third set, we might have had a chance to win the match. But we failed.
That's the gap between the Chinese and us."
