When the dust and smoke has settled in Qatar, the STIGA player and his Intensity NCT is the last man and blade standing.

He began the year by winning the ITTF World Tour Grand Finals in Dubai. He won Qatar Open in 2011 and 2012. Now looking to tie the amazing record with Zoran Primorac and his Shanghai compatriot Wang Liqin by winning the Qatar Open three times since its beginning in 1994.

The 24 year-old and former World number one Chinese player entered Qatar Open as the number two seed behind the current World number one Ma Long.

When Ma long had to withdraw because of injury in the round of 16 and Fan Zhendong and Yan An was eliminated there was no longer any question of who would take home the title. Xu Xin was the only Chinese player left in the quarter finals and he was never threatened.

He won against CHEN Weixing AUT with 4 sets to 1 in the round of 16, and followed that with a 4-0 win against GAO Ning SIN.

CHO Eonrae KOR only reached 10 points in one set when Xu Xin eliminated him in the semifinals with 4 games to 0.

In the final he met CHUANG Chih-Yuan TPE. A player who has reached 14 World Tour finals. This would be his 11^th second place finish.

This was the tenth time that Xu Xin reached an ITTF World Tour Men’s Singles Final. It was the eighth time he won.

When the new month approaches, STIGA player Xu Xin will soon ones again be on the top of the world ranking. Exactly where he is supposed to be!
