Taking head coach Liu Guoliang's advice, Wang frequently returned to Ryu's righthand open space. The tactics went well and Wang took the second set 11-3.

Wang changed his tactics in the third set as he fired to Ryu's backhand. This set was 11-7 in favor of the 2001 and 2005 world champion.

Ryu overcame Wang's 4-1 lead to move ahead 9-7 in the fourth set.Wang made it nine-all before the match moved on like a seasaw game.

At 14-14, Wang sent a topspin strike to the net and then served into the net to concede the set.

Then Ryu's topspin play went wrong. He drove into the net seven times to lose the fifth set 11-6.

The sixth set was Wang's turn to make mistakes. He sent returns to the net as many as Ryu did earlier, losing by two points to face the deciding set.

Wang said after the match that both finalists had played to their best.

"It was a very difficult game, for which I had prepared thoroughly," said Wang.

So had Ryu, who said he spent most of last night studying Wang' s video.

"Ryu has been in superb form after beating his teammate Oh Sang Eun and German Timo Boll, who both had never lost to Ryu before this world championships," Wang commented.

Wang said new techniques and tactics he used against Ryu worked very well.

"I did fairly well in service returns," he said. "I used my backhand to receive Ryu's services, the technique I had rarely used."
