World top player Ma Lin lived up to his reputation by trouncing Kalinikos Kreanga of Greece to claim the title at the ITTF Men's World Cup in Jiangyiin on Sunday. It is the first men's single title at a major international event for China after the ITTF, governing body of the sport, introduced the three-step reform of big ball, 11-point system and no-hide service since 2000 Olympic Games.
