As the US Smash 2025 finalist went two games down, Yi\u2019s shoulders dropped, as the challenge in front of her just got twice as hard.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was Yi\u2019s first WTT Champions final, and she was determined not to let the occasion overwhelm her. Right on cue, the former World No.6 finally showed up in the third, utilising all the weapons in her arsenal to lead 9-3.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Miwa Harimoto vs Chen Yi | WS Final | #WTTMacao 2026\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PCJq94AFsK8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All week, Harimoto has shown a great level of experience and maturity to adapt to the match unfolding in front of her, and she did it again, closing the gap to one point as Yi struggled to get over the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the 22-year-old Yi got her break, converting her second of two game points just as it looked like she might stutter, bringing the biggest cheer of the match so far from the Chinese fans inside Infinity \u221e Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harimoto continued to apply intense pressure, going up 5- 1. Yi, however, had other ideas and started mixing up her shots, sometimes targeting the middle, other times moving Harimoto around the table as she levelled the match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The atmosphere, a cagey affair with the Chinese fans stunned into silence, suddenly vanished as the World No.12 was giving Harimoto a proper fight, and those supporting Yi were now cheering her name louder, willing her to go one step further.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Harimoto, however, wasn\u2019t going anywhere, and when level at 16 points, she turned the screw, setting up two game points, but Yi saved both, triggering a standing ovation from her coach. Momentum had well and truly swung the other way, and Yi took her second game point to lead for the first time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One game away from winning her first WTT Champions title, Yi was absolutely on fire and had completely turned the tables on this tie. Leading 7-9, Yi was desperately close to ending Harimoto\u2019s purple reign, but the woman across from her is no ordinary teenager, and she dug deep to level it, and then snatched Game Point at the first time of asking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We were going to seven games to decide the champion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Down on her knees during the break, Harimoto had given everything to get back into this one, and for both players, it was one final push to 11, and she was the first one to turn up the heat, getting ahead at 9-7 and then earning two championship points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But of course, there was another huge moment to come, with Yi saving both championship points, triggering a huge eruption from the thousands inside. That turned out to be the final cheer for Yi, however, as Harimoto burst into tears when she sealed her third WTT Champions title in a row, a feat only achieved once before.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, I was very happy, but the stronger feeling I had at that time was that I couldn\u2019t believe it myself. I was surprised myself. My goal for this year was to win the title at a WTT Champions event or above. I didn&#8217;t expect to win it three times at all. I really can\u2019t believe it myself,&#8221; said Harimoto<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moregaard stuns Calderano<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moregard, facing off against a man who made the final in this very arena last year, instantly made things uncomfortable for Calderano, storming to a 6-2 lead in the first and maintaining that four-point advantage to secure the opener.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Into the second, Moregard, who was still chasing his first WTT Series title of the year, struggled to get a foothold in the game, constantly chasing his Brazilian counterpart, but right at the end, the Swede roared in delight after he came back from 8-9 down to double his lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Game three in this best-of-seven match was crucial for Calderano: if he lost it, he would have a huge mountain to climb to win his first WTT Champions title. And he certainly knew it, blowing Moregard out of Infinity \u221e Arena with a 3-11 win.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Hugo Calderano vs Truls Moregard | MS Final | #WTTMacao 2026\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3GRIbEFuCbw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calderano, who won the ITTF Men\u2019s World Cup in Macao in 2025, needed that, but also knew he\u2019d have to go again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Game four was a tight and nervy match, and the players were even after 16 points, until the mentality monster Moregard pulled away at the most crucial moment, taking his first of two Game Points to move to within one win of his second WTT Champions title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Momentum was truly with Moregard now, and the WTT Champions Montpellier 2025 winner was ripping forehands and took 12 of the last 16 points, putting him 4-2 up in the fifth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking to avoid defeat in his third WTT Champions final, Calderano needed to find answers, and just at the right time, he saved two Championship Points, threatening to bring about a career-defining comeback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the night was Moregard\u2019s, and the 24-year-old, with one hand on the trophy, secured the victory and put his hands on his head in disbelief. Just weeks ago, he was, in his own words, at his lowest after losing in the first round of Europe Smash &#8211; Sweden 2026, but now he was back on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Yeah, he&#8217;s [Hugo Calderano] really fantastic. He is also always playing amazing here in Macao. I mean, two finals now in the Champions and a World Cup win is really astonishing. I was prepared for really tough strokes. Obviously, he&#8217;s playing super powerful. But yeah, I have played very good in service, receive game in this tournament. I could lock in there a little bit. But I got the upper hand there and could really attack the most, and he felt not so comfortable from the beginning. I think. So super happy with how we managed the match and the tactics before,&#8221;\u00a0said Moregard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miwa Harimoto has once again made history, beating Chen Yi in the final of WTT Champions Macao to<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15720,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[65],"class_list":["post-15719","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsbeat","tag-table-tennis"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 5.0.1.1 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Miwa Harimoto has once again made history, beating Chen Yi in the final of WTT Champions Macao to claim back-to-back-to-back women\u2019s singles titles at this level, prevailing 11-7, 11-7, 9-11, 8-11, 11-13, 11-9, 12-10.
