BUDAPEST, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Liu Shiwen and Chen Meng advanced into the women's singles final after winning their all-Chinese semifinals at the World Table Tennis Championships here on Friday.

Liu came from two sets down to beat Olympic champion and world No. 1 Ding Ning 6-11, 9-11, 11-5, 11-5, 11-0, 11-2, while Chen Meng routed Wang Manyu 11-5, 11-7, 11-5, 11-8.

"This might be my last world championships," said Liu. "I has been expecting to use all my potential."
