DORTMUND (Germany) - Defending champions Singapore trounced Chinese Taipei 3-0 in their women's Group B match at the World Team Table Tennis Championships on Tuesday. But, while the result was routine, the reaction from the winners was nothing short of explosive.
A series of controversial service calls in the second match between Wang Yuegu and Cheng I-ching prompted a furious response from the Singaporean, who was later banished to the stands.
And, even though Wang came from behind to win 3-2, the world No. 8 later accused the European umpires of being arrogant and amateurish.

'I have nothing against Asians or Europeans, but I think European umpires are not professional enough,' said the Singapore No. 2 in a rare outburst.
:p
