Japan enjoyed a triumphant Sunday at the WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025, with Sora Matsushima and Hina Hayata claiming the men's and women's singles titles respectively.

18-year-old rising star Sora Matsushima claimed his first WTT Champions men's singles crown with a 4-1 victory over home favorite Qiu Dang of Germany.

Matsushima raced to a 2-0 lead before Qiu pulled one back. Although the German held a strong advantage in the third game, the Japanese teenager kept his composure to seal the win in a tight finish.

"I didn't expect to win this whole event, so I'm honestly just really happy. It was a really tight match, it could have gone either way. Dang is a really strong opponent, so I just kept to my game plan, and that led me to the victory today." Matsushima said after the match.

In the women's final, Hina Hayata outlasted top seed Miwa Harimoto 4-3 in a thriller.

Two weeks on from falling to Harimoto in the Final at WTT Star Contender London 2025, Hayata finally got her revenge, bagging her eighth WTT Series title and improving on her previous best at this event, since a semifinal finish at WTT Champions Frankfurt 2023.

Hayata surged ahead by taking the opening two games, but Harimoto responded with back-to-back wins to level the match. Hayata regained control in the fifth game before Harimoto forced a decider. In the final game, both players traded leads, but Hayata seized her chance to close out the contest 11-9 and secure the championship.

"It was a really tough match from the very start! So I just focused on what I could do well, and prioritized enjoying and trying my very best in the match." Hayata remarked.

The WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 ran from November 4-9, with 32-player singles draws for both men and women. Winners earned 1,000 world-ranking points.

China's national team did not participate because of a schedule clash with the 15th National Games table tennis events.
