中国奥运冠军王楚钦和孙颖莎周六以3-1战胜日本组合，夺得世乒赛混双三连冠。

The second seeds overcame a late surge from 16th-seeded Maharu Yoshimura and Satsuki Odo, winning 11-7, 11-8, 7-11, 11-8 over 39 minutes in what was their 16 consecutive win in the event.

2号种子组合顶住了16号种子吉村真晴与大藤沙月的强势反扑，在39分钟的比赛中以11-7、11-8、7-11、11-8的比分获胜，取得了世乒赛的第16连胜。

"Our rivals posed a great threat with cohesion and tactics even if they are both right-handed," said Sun. "We trusted each other when the scores were close. We shared the same determination to make it three in a row."

“尽管对手都是右撇子，但他们的凝聚力和战术运用给我们带来了巨大的威胁，”孙颖莎说道。“比分接近时，我们彼此信任。我们都决心要实现三连冠。”
