Newly crowned World Cup Champion, Ma Long won two rubbers, to lead Beijing to a win over Shanghai in the finals of the Chinese National Team Championships.

Shanghai were a force to reckon with in-form Wang Liqin and the always dangerous Xu Xin. However, Ma Long wriggled out of a tight situation against Liqin to take his team to victory. Hou Yingchao won the other point for Beijing.
