But it is also from that point on that he has failed to capture another singles title, losing to domestic rivals Wang Chuqin, Liang Jingkun, as well as international opponents such as Hugo Calderano, Tomokazu Harimoto, and Qiu Dang. In this tournament, starting from the second round, he became the Chinese men\u2019s singles \u201csole survivor,\u201d advancing through the last 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals to reach the final and contest the crown.<\/p><p data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"2324\">Truls Moregard, born in 2002, currently ranked World No.7, has previously finished runner-up in both the Olympic Games and the World Championships. He has defeated Wang Chuqin before, but overall his record against Chinese mainstays has been unfavorable. In previous encounters with Lin Shidong, he had lost both (0-2). However, this time, with the advantage of competing on home soil, Moregard was expected to perform above his usual level. Therefore, the Chinese Table Tennis Team could not afford to underestimate him.<\/p><hr data-start=\"2326\" data-end=\"2329\" \/><h3 data-start=\"2331\" data-end=\"2357\">\u3010Paths to the Final\u3011<\/h3><ul data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2644\"><li data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2501\"><p data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2501\"><strong data-start=\"2361\" data-end=\"2376\">Lin Shidong<\/strong>: 3-0 Lin Wenzheng (Australia), 3-0 Assar (Egypt), 3-1 Walther (Germany), 4-0 Qiu Dang (Germany), 4-3 Simon Gauzy (France).<\/p><\/li><li data-start=\"2502\" data-end=\"2644\"><p data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2644\"><strong data-start=\"2504\" data-end=\"2516\">Moregard<\/strong>: 3-1 Ionescu (Romania), 3-2 Matsushima Hiroto (Japan), 3-0 Cho Daeseong (Korea), 4-2 Ahn Jaehyun (Korea), 4-0 Duda (Germany).<\/p><\/li><\/ul><p data-start=\"2646\" data-end=\"3089\">In the semifinals, Lin Shidong almost collapsed, trailing 1-3 in games against Gauzy and also falling behind in several rallies, but eventually scraped through 4-3.

He soon pushed Moregard off the table to level the score, and continued forcing him back. However, tied at 7-7, Lin lost two points in a row, and after narrowing the gap by one, he could not turn it around, losing <strong data-start=\"3464\" data-end=\"3472\">8-11<\/strong> and dropping the first game.<\/p><p data-start=\"3505\" data-end=\"3909\">In Game 2, Lin again led 4-1 at the start, but quickly lost three points as Moregard caught up. The game then became a seesaw battle, with both players trading points. Later, Lin repeatedly attacked Moregard\u2019s forehand position to break through, then controlled the rally with short pushes to force errors. He earned three game points at 10-7 and converted them to win <strong data-start=\"3874\" data-end=\"3882\">11-8<\/strong>, tying the match at 1-1.<\/p><p data-start=\"3911\" data-end=\"4276\">In Game 3, Lin\u2019s early lead was erased as Moregard tied it 4-4. Lin stuck to targeting the forehand gap, while Moregard grew impatient and even faulted on serve. Lin pulled ahead 8-4, but his own inconsistency saw him overtaken 8-9. Though he fought back to 10-10, his return lacked quality, allowing Moregard to counter. Lin lost <strong data-start=\"4242\" data-end=\"4251\">10-12<\/strong>, trailing 1-2 overall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3dd69d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a3dd69d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/q9.itc.cn\/images01\/20250825\/2ee9dc183bf54415a3a47d2fa08bfae2.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb5bed6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb5bed6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"4278\" data-end=\"4723\">Game 4 saw Lin take the lead again, only to be tied at 3-3. Though he surged ahead once more, he failed to contain Moregard\u2019s placement changes, and soon trailed 5-8. After clawing back two points, Moregard called timeout to regroup. Returning to the table, Lin missed an open shot and was punished by Moregard\u2019s attack, slipping to 7-10. One more error sealed his fate, as he lost <strong data-start=\"4660\" data-end=\"4668\">8-11<\/strong>, falling behind 1-3 overall and pushed to the brink.<\/p><p data-start=\"4725\" data-end=\"5029\">In Game 5, with his back to the wall, Lin unleashed his power. Relentless two-winged loop attacks repeatedly broke through, giving him a 3-0 lead. He extended it to 7-1, then 9-2, and at 10-4 he held six game points. With a fierce forehand winner, he clinched it <strong data-start=\"4988\" data-end=\"4996\">11-4<\/strong>, narrowing the deficit to 2-3.<\/p><p data-start=\"5031\" data-end=\"5511\">Game 6 saw Lin again strike early, scoring three straight points with backhand flicks down both lines. But Moregard responded, narrowing to 3-4. Coach Wang Hao promptly called a timeout to steady Lin. Back in play, Lin was caught at 4-4, then rallied to 7-4. Yet he was reeled back to 9-8. Lin scored to reach 10-8 and had two game points, but Moregard fought back to 10-10 and even earned match point. Lin, however, held his nerve, edging <strong data-start=\"5471\" data-end=\"5480\">13-11<\/strong>, and forced a deciding game.<\/p><p data-start=\"5513\" data-end=\"5936\">In the decisive Game 7, Lin struck first, leading 2-0, but Moregard fought back to 2-3. Lin leveled at 3-3, then produced an incredible net-cord save to pull ahead 5-3, later 6-4. Yet Moregard tied it 6-6. Lin led 8-6, but again was caught at 8-8. At 9-8, Lin conceded two points to fall 9-10 and face match point. Pushed off the table, his high-ball counterloop missed. Lin lost <strong data-start=\"5893\" data-end=\"5901\">9-11<\/strong>, ending the match in heartbreak.<\/p><p data-start=\"5938\" data-end=\"6032\">Final score: <strong data-start=\"5951\" data-end=\"5984\">Moregard def.
