But the Hong Kong player did not go down without a fight, taking the fifth game 11-5 to narrow the deficit.

It was a see-saw battle in the sixth game, with Wang prevailing 11-9 for a berth in the final.

There is no bronze medal match, so Wong will share the podium with South Korea’s Jang Woojin, who lost to Fan Zhendong of China in the other semi-final.

This is Hong Kong’s only table tennis medal at this year’s Asian Games in Hangzhou.
