On Saturday, Liang edged over his compatriot and third seed Ma Long 4-3 in the semifinal.
Liang noted that winning the game against Ma was a breakthrough for him. "Before today's final against Calderano, I had made up my mind to pull out all the stops with no slacking off at all. Generally, I had a good play today and my movement and the pressure that I put on the opponent were in place. I hope to continue to make more solid progress step by step," he said.
As the first WTT Champions Series event on the 2024 calendar, the world's top players gathered in Incheon to battle for a prize pool of 300,000 U.S. dollars, while both champions will also earn 1,000 ITTF world ranking points each.
