Xinhua, February 29, 2016 Adjust font size:

Defending champions China's men's team took their second win by beating DPR Korea 3-0 at the 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships here on Monday.

China, who overcame Greece 3-0 last Sunday, took a comfortable three-nil win over DPR Korea as Ma Long easily overtook Choe II 11-6, 11-8 and 11-4, and teammates Fan Zhendong and Fang Bo won their matches 3-0 and 3-1 respectively.

Liu Guoliang, head coach of the Chinese team, believed his disciples could do better in the coming matches.

"Our paddlers are playing better as they are getting more concentrated and becoming more fit for the circumstances. Our goal in the group stage is to let them tune up for more challenges," said Liu.

The 24 men's teams were drawn into four groups during the first stage of the 2016 World Team Table Tennis Championships which ran from February 28 to March 6.

China is in group A with Austria, Chinese Taipei, Greece, the Czech Republic and DPR Korea. Enditem
