BUDAPEST, April 27 (Xinhua) -- Chinese duo Ma Long and Wang Chuqin won the men's doubles gold medal, beating Romania's Ovidiu Ionescu and Spain's Alvaro Robles 4-1 at the World Table Tennis Championships here on Saturday.

The Chinese had met some trouble in the second set before they had the match under control and won 11-3, 8-11, 11-7, 11-3, 11-5.

This is China's third gold in the Budapest Championships since Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin won the mixed doubles event and China has swept the women's singles semifinal berths.

Ma Long will battle against compatriot Liang Jingkun for a spot in the men's singles final late in the day.
