CHONGQING, March 15 (Xinhua) -- France's Felix Lebrun defeated China's Wen Ruibo 4-1 in a clash of two 19-year-olds to claim the men's singles title at the WTT Champions Chongqing on Sunday.
Fifth-ranked Lebrun, who is regarded as one of the world's leading penhold players, relied on his trademark quick-fire attacks to beat Wen 11-5, 11-8, 9-11, 11-7, 13-11.
Lebrun had earlier eliminated Brazil's World Cup winner Hugo Calderano and Japan's Sora Matsushima on his way to the final.
In the women's final earlier on Sunday, Japan's teenage star Miwa Harimoto edged China's Kuai Man 4-3.
Harimoto, 17, avenged her 4-1 defeat to Kuai at the Asian Cup in February, prevailing 11-6, 9-11, 7-11, 11-9, 11-6, 9-11, 11-5.
Kuai appeared to fade in the deciding set as Harimoto surged into a 3-0 lead with aggressive forehand attacks before sealing the match with a series of winners. ■
