History Made at Europe Smash 2025: Sun Yingsha & Truls Möregårdh Crowned Champions 🏆

 

The 2025 edition of WTT Europe Smash – Sweden came to a sensational close on Sunday night, with two unforgettable singles finals that rewrote table tennis history.

On the women’s side, World No.1 Sun Yingsha added yet another prestigious title to her glittering career, overcoming Wang Manyu in a breathtaking 6-game thriller: 11-9, 11-9, 5-11, 10-12, 11-6, 11-5.

But the story of the night belonged to Truls Möregårdh, the charismatic Swedish superstar and proud Olympiacos player, who pulled off the impossible. In one of the most dramatic finals ever witnessed, Truls defeated the world’s top seed Lin Shidong 4-3 (11-8, 8-11, 12-10, 11-8, 4-11, 11-13, 11-9) and made history as the first European ever to lift a WTT Grand Smash Men’s Singles title.

The final point of the match seemed like it would never end. A rally of breathtaking athleticism and nerve, where Möregårdh showed just why he is considered a table tennis genius. His coolness under pressure, his trademark flair, and his iron will made this moment truly iconic.

For Olympiacos and Greek table tennis, this victory has a special meaning.

The presence of such elite athletes in our team proves once again the wisdom and vision of the club's leadership. Having a global star like Truls Möregårdh wearing red and white elevates not just our team but the image of Greek table tennis internationally. His performance tonight made all of us proud, and reminded the world that Olympiacos is not just a team — it’s a movement in World table tennis.

On the women’s final, spectators were treated to a tactical and emotional rollercoaster.

Featuring two of the sport’s biggest superstars, Sun Yingsha vs Wang Manyu was always going to be tight. Game after game was decided by just a few points. Sun held her nerve in the key moments, mixing aggressive backhands with clever pace changes. Even when Wang fought back and leveled at 2-2, Sun elevated her game, dominating the fifth and sixth games with fierce precision.

After the match, Sun Yingsha offered her opponent a heartfelt embrace and thanked the fans in Sweden, lifting her fourth WTT Grand Smash singles trophy to a standing ovation.

As for Möregårdh, he walked off the court to a roaring crowd, waving the Swedish flag — and leaving a legacy that will forever be remembered.

One historic night. Two new champions. One unforgettable Europe Smash.

🏓 Europe Smash 2025 Semifinals Recap 🔥 Lin vs Gauzy, Moregard’s Rise, Sun & Wang Dominate


It was heartbreak for World No.32 Simon Gauzy, as the French artist bowed out of Europe Smash – Sweden 2025 after an electrifying battle with World No.1 Lin Shidong in the Men’s Singles semifinals (11-4, 7-11, 9-11, 5-11, 11-8, 11-9, 11-7).

Coming into the match with a recent defeat to Lin at Singapore Smash 2025, Gauzy had every reason to fight for redemption. And fight he did, stepping into the Renaissance ⚜ Arena with a fire in his eyes and magic in his hands.

A Stunning Turnaround

Lin came out strong, taking the first game 11-4 with explosive precision. But Gauzy, fueled by motivation and his unique flair, turned the tide and stunned the Chinese top seed by winning the next three games in a row. Leading 3-1, the Frenchman seemed just moments away from reaching the final.

Then came the fifth game – a narrow win for Lin. In the sixth, Gauzy had a 9-6 lead and was on the verge of clinching the upset of the tournament.

But Lin, showcasing championship nerve, rattled off five consecutive points to force a decider. He didn’t stop there—finishing the job with a dominant 11-7 final game to crush Gauzy’s dream run.

Moregard’s Dream Final Awaits

Awaiting Lin Shidong in the final is Sweden’s own Truls Möregårdh, who delighted his home crowd with a ruthless 4-0 victory over Benedikt Duda (11-7, 11-9, 11-7, 11-6).

“I was really nervous, but once I stepped on court, it all turned into adrenaline,” said a beaming Moregard. “Tactically and technically I played fantastic today. Now I will try to make the story even more perfect tomorrow.”

With his aggressive play and vocal intensity, Moregard ignited the Malmö Arena crowd and heads into the final full of confidence and belief.

Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu: Title Track Activated

In the Women’s Singles bracket, Sun Yingsha avenged her previous loss to Chen Yi at the US Smash by dispatching her rival in four dominant games (11-2, 11-3, 3-11, 11-7, 11-9). The World No.1 is now one step away from another Grand Smash crown.

Wang Manyu, not to be outdone, responded with a jaw-dropping 4-0 destruction of Shi Xunyao (11-7, 12-10, 11-3, 11-7), setting up an all-Chinese showdown in the final.

“Hold my drink,” Wang seemed to say with her performance—blazing through her match with a vengeance.

Doubles Delight: Wong & Chan Shock the World

Earlier in the day, Wong Chun Ting and Chan Baldwin pulled off the surprise of the week, defeating the No.3 seeds Lin Shidong and Huang Youzheng in a five-game thriller (7-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-6, 11-8) to win the Men’s Doubles title.

“We trusted each other. We prepared well. And we played brave,” said Wong Chun Ting after the match.

The pair from Hong Kong, China, claimed their first-ever WTT Grand Smash title in just their second appearance at this elite level—writing their names into the Malmö history books.
