Second seeds Lin Shidong and Wang Chuqin have done it again, as the dynamic duo claimed their second Men\u2019s Doubles title at China Smash defeating wildcards Zhou Qihao and Chen Junsong in straight games 11-8, 13-11, 11-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The dream team continued their remarkable partnership with another commanding display in Beijing, extending their unbeaten record together in the Men\u2019s Doubles category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pair, who first joined forces earlier this year, have already established themselves as a dominant power on the international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making their first appearance as a duo at Singapore Smash 2025, they captured the Men\u2019s Doubles crown with a dazzling mix of composure, chemistry, and explosive shot-making\u2014qualities that once again defined their performance at Shougang Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe last played together at Singapore Smash 2025. It has been more than half a year, and now we’re back at Shougang Park in Beijing, I think our partnership has increasingly improved. Our communication and shot coordination were much better than in Singapore.\u201d said Lin Shidong. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Across the table stood fellow Chinese pairing Zhou and Chen, competing in only their second-ever international event after exiting last month\u2019s WTT Contender Almaty 2025 in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final began with favourites Lin and Wang asserting their dominance early, racing to a 9-5 lead before sealing the opening game 11-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Determined to fight back, wildcards Zhou and Chen surged ahead in the second game, capturing the first four points and later holding a commanding 7-10 advantage. But in a dramatic turnaround, Lin and Wang stormed back to snatch the game 13-11 in deuce, leaving their opponents empty handed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still reeling from the narrow loss, Zhou and Chen were slow to start the third, dropping the first three points and calling a time-out to regroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The pause initially paid off as they levelled the score at 3-3, but Lin and Wang quickly reignited their rhythm, winning five consecutive points to move within touching distance of victory on Infinity \u221e Arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite trailing 3-8, Zhou and Chen refused to surrender, thrilling the home crowd with a spirited push to close the gap to 7-9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tension was palpable as Chen stepped up to serve, hoping to spark a late revival. Yet Wang and Lin held firm, closing out the match and title with an 11-7 finish, marking another triumphant chapter in their fast-growing legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt was an exciting and nail-biting match, despite the 3-0 score. In the second game, we came back from 7-10 behind, which helped lift our mental burden and slow our opponent’s momentum. Chen Junsong’s performance, in both Men’s Singles and Doubles, is something that everyone should celebrate. He did an impressive job and gave us a pleasant surprise. Lin Shidong and I were well prepared for a tough match.\u201d said Wang Chuqin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
