Players get to choose their opponents!!
Picture by Manfred Schillings
Vladimir Samsonov smiled; he looked at the four players standing at the front of the room where the draw for the Men’s Singles event at the Volkswagen Cup in Germany was being held early in the evening of Monday 29th November 2010. He chose to stand next to Korea’s Joo Se Hyuk; he had selected his adversary for his opening round contest, the other options being Germany’s Timo Boll, China’s Ma Lin or Japan’s Jun Mizutani.
The system for the draw in the Volkswagen Halle in Braunschweig, some 30 minutes by car from Volkswagen's headquarters in Wolfsburg, saw the players have a certain choice as to who would be their opening round opponent.
System for the Draw
In the first instance the top two seeded players were placed at the top and bottom of the draw; then the names of the third and fourth seeded players were drawn. The player whose name was drawn first had the choice of whether to be in the top half or lower half of the draw. The top four decided, the remaining four names were drawn; the first player whose name was drawn chose his opponent and so on until the last name to appear having no choice at all.
A choice of four players befell Vladimir Samsonov and his choice was understandable. He had played Joo Se Hyuk on three previous occasions in world ranking events, he had won on all three occasions. The other alternatives were more foreboding: Germany’s Timo Boll, China’s Ma Lin or Japan’s Jun Mizutani; all players who in the past have caused Vladimir Samsonsov moments of strife.
