CHENGDU, China, June 25 -- Within a fortnight, Chinese youth paddler Sun Yingsha has made a name for herself in the table tennis world as the 16-year-old claimed her first ITTF World Tour title at the Japan Open and broke into the final at the China Open later.

Although losing to world No.1 Ding Ning 4-1 in the women's singles final at the China Open here on Sunday, Sun has recorded a perfect start at the ITTF World Tour tournaments as she has won all her first 11 matches, including victories over big names of Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng, and Feng Tianwei.

"The China Open was just my second World Tour event, I had set my goal before the competition that not lose to foreign players and just try to play game by game. Maybe it was because nobody noticed me before that gave me some chances," Sun said after the semifinal on Saturday, in which she defeated No. 2 seed Liu Shiwen without losing a single game.

However, the clash against Olympic champion Ding Ning exposed Sun's weakness, implying there is still much room for her to improve. After losing the first game, top seed Ding quickly backed to track and took four straight games to claim her third singles title at the China Open, also snapping Sun's magic run in recent two weeks.

"It was my normal form today, Ding pushed too much pressure on me especially in her service," Sun said after the final, "I won the first game, but then Ding got to know my tactics and then dominated the situation. I can see that I still have to learn a lot from those top players like Ding."
