ITTF Mixed Team World Cup: China crushed Chile 8-0 to finish as the group leader with an unbeaten record at the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) Mixed Team World Cup in Chengdu, China, on Tuesday. Japan, South Korea, and Germany are other undefeated teams after three group matches.

Facing debutant Chile, the defending champion showed their class from the outset. World No. 1 mixed doubles duo Lin Shidong and Kuai Man overcame an early test before sweeping Chile's Nicolas Burgos and Paulina Vega 13-11, 11-3, 11-3.

"We had a good start, but they returned several excellent shots afterwards. Through our adjustment of serves and change of rhythm, we won the first game, which was quite crucial," commented Lin.
