[Suga D]

Wow.

Li Ping just eliminated Alvaro Robles 4:0 in preliminary rd. 1...

 

[Michal_Z]

I expected Majoros beat Obešlo and Ghosh beat Quentin Robinot.
Also CNT wins were expected.
But other results surprised me a lot

 

[Suga D]

Update

Patrick Franziska just eliminated Soumyajit Ghosh 4:0

and

Jang Woojin just got eliminated 0:4 by Sathyan Gnanasekaran
[Emoji15]
So Gnanasekaran has reached further than Achanta!!!
Crazy!!

UPDATE:
Jakub Dyjas just eliminated Ho Kwan Kit 4:2!
Hunor Szöcs won over Nandor Ecseki 4:0

 

[Michal_Z]

I can only imagine, how players like Pucar, Baum, Kim Donghyun, Gacina, Monteiro, Habesohn..
At tournament like this, only wishfully pray that they wont get these unranked chinese players into their groups or into preliminary stages..

 

[Suga D]

UPDATE UPDATE:
Benedikt Duda's just eliminated Adrian Crisan 4:1

Hey Du, Du da, du da drüben... Dudaaaa
[Emoji2]

 

[Atas Newton]

Zhou Yu is using red rubber on his forehand, interesting. Was he always doing that or has he changed rubbers?

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Majoros Bence and Ecseki Nándor did a great job beating Aruna and Gao. I hope they will continue their fly and stay in top 100, hungarian TT really needs a revival.

 

[yoass]

Majoros Bence and Ecseki Nándor did a great job beating Aruna and Gao. I hope they will continue their fly and stay in top 100, hungarian TT really needs a revival.

Revival, as in: Jonyer, Gergely, Klampár, Bence, Nándor?

 

[Garrison]

Gj monteiro!

 

[Michal_Z]

Gj monteiro!

Not for my ticket, lol

 

[Suga D]

Joao Monteiro was victorious 4:3 over Zhou Kai

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Revival, as in: Jonyer, Gergely, Klampár, Bence, Nándor?

I don't have such dreams, just to Hungary have at least 3 or 4 top 100 player. András Csaba has the best chance (he is in junior top 20)

 

[TTnS]

 

[Sali]

I am just thinking what is the idea of sending two judges for a match. Check out the 1 set with Dyjas and Calderano when it is 13:13. Players are teaching judges what to do and even changing the score !!!

 

[WorkerBee]

Joao Monteiro was victorious 4:3 over Zhou Kai

What happened to the mythology of the 100 unrated Chinese players who would easily win in the top 20? I love the Chinese table tennis players and training more than most, but deifying the mystical, mythological invisible 100 is like saying there are 20 Messi's in Argentina. China is having a hard enough time replacing Zhang Jike with Lin Gaoyuan, and they have pushed Ma Long into the hospital. I love it when they have 4 of the top 5, but that cannot last forever.

 

[Suga D]

Patrick Franziska victorious over Jung Youngsik. 4:0

Bastian Steger 4:2 over Lim Jonghoon
