Hong Kong stuns India's men's and sweeps the host 3-0, to enter medal rounds

Bhubaneswar, Oct 13 (UNI) What appeared to be a balanced men’s quarterfinal between India and Hong Kong (China) turned into a surprisingly one-sided contest at the 28th ITTF-ATTU Asian Team Table Tennis Championships. Despite India’s higher world team ranking at No. 4, Hong Kong, ranked No. 6, played with greater purpose and composure to register a dominant 3–0 win and secure a place in the medal rounds in a match played last night.
In the women’s quarterfinals played last night here, the Republic of Korea overcame Hong Kong, China, 3–1, while second seed Japan survived a thrilling five-set battle against DPR Korea, winning 3–2 to secure a spot in the medal rounds. Between them, they played 24 out of 25 games.
The much-anticipated men’s encounter, expected to test both teams equally, quickly slipped away from the Indians as Hong Kong displayed superior discipline, tactical awareness, and mental steadiness throughout.
