It has already been a successful journey for Truls Möregårdh.

The 19-year-old Swede, ranked 77th in the world, has charmed an entire table tennis world on its way to a sensational World Cup final.

01.55 tonight he can take gold - five hours after Mattias Falck and Kristian Karlsson salvaged the World Cup gold in the men's doubles.

However, the toughest possible opposition awaits in the form of world setter Fan Zhendong.

And there is no doubt that a victory is one of the biggest things that has happened to Swedish table tennis.

JO Waldner compares with the team final in the 1989 World Cup when Sweden tore down the Great Wall of China and won against China 5-0 in the final.

- It may have to be ranked as 1989 when we beat China 5-0.

It is almost on the same level as Fan Zhendong is world number one, says Waldner.

- When we won we were ranked second and beat China - he is 77th.

The thing we did in 1989 was a bomb all over the world, even in Sweden and it was no matter how big.

This would be a bigger bang, he says.

But it will be a tough task for Möregårdh.

Together with Ma Long, Fan Zhendong is one of the toughest people you can face.

But maybe Mattias Falck and Kristian Karlsson's World Cup gold can be a morale booster for Möregårdh, says Waldner.

- Now that they won this double, it may increase Trul's chances as well, that he can feel more relaxed.

Now we still have a gold and a silver.

I do not know how he thinks, but it's a feat if he wins.

Now he has to rise two more levels to have a chance.
