Taipei, Nov. 25 (CNA) Taiwanese teenager Lin Yun-ju (林昀儒) was crushed by his Chinese opponent

in the men's singles final at the T2 Diamond table tennis tournament in Singapore on Sunday and had to settle for second place.

The 18-year old Taiwanese, who came under the spotlight after he won the T2 Diamond Malaysia title in July, lost 0-4 (9-11, 5-11, 8-11, 6-11) to World No. 2 Xu Xin (許昕) of China.

The 29-year old Chinese player remained dominant to the very end, knocking out Lin in four straight games to win the Diamond title in Singapore.    [FULL  STORY]
