Xinhua,January 18, 2018 Adjust font size:

BUDAPEST, Jan. 17 (Xinhua) -- Lin Yun-Ju of Chinese Taipei won the men's singles title at the ITTF U21 World Tour Hungarian Open on Wednesday here.

The No.11 seed, 16, beat No.14 seed Bence Majoros of Hungary in straight sets, 11-5, 11-6, 11-6.

"I prepared well for the match. My coach gave me the best tactics against Majoros and it worked. I played really well," Lin Yun-Ju said.

China's Chen Ke took the women's singles by beating second seed Mak Tze Wing of Hong Kong, China, 1-11, 11-6, 11-3, 11-3.

"My start was not best but once I got more into the match, things went my way. After the first game I had to change things on my serves; this proved a great weapon. I am happy to win the first Under 21 title of the year," Chen Ke said after the final.

Victorious in Germany last year, Chen Ke has now two titles to her credit. Enditem
