Both of them can win the title I think!

Just from the intensity I would agree, as Dan pointed out.

Now Duda giving some trouble to Gauzy. Love the openness of these fights..

Is Dan commentator? Sound's like his voice on Diogo Carvalho's game.

A great marathon by Can Akkuzu ... In the end Timo Got it 4 to 3 ...

First gold goes to GERMANY. Filus / Han win the mixed doubles competition

Do you understand the draw?1/16:Vladi Dima 1/16 Timmo Pitch?How could it by possible,Shibaev Gardos 1/64.Shiba Dima 1/32,Fritas Fegerl1/32.Does it make sense?Best european players meet so early?

Lupulesku lost 9:11 in 7th (with the edge ball) and threw the racket, see 01:02:06 here: https://www.laola1.tv/en-int/video/ws-lupulesku-izabela-srb-kucerova-aneta-cze-len

Shibaev is responsible for the broken barrier from the match against Pitchford and Drinkhall, although it happened mid-point.
Edit: Just watched the video, and apparently Lupulesku broke one as well

Apolonia played a really focused match against Robles. A little dip in the fourth game but handled the crowd really well.

Jorgic was absolutely demolishing Karlsson with his backhand alone up until 2-0. He was then 2-1 5-1 up and Karlsson came back with some amazing play in the fourth game. The highlight of the day for me.

Boll looks really flat, and pretty fried physically. Didn't really seem to have a game plan, just reacting to his opponent and hoping it will be enough.

A pretty strange racket throw by Patrick Franziska against Tokic. He was 2-0 up, lost a tight third game and tossed his racket to the floor and pretty much to the other side of the match area.

Gionis made Lind look like an amateur. Amazing to watch in person.

The best part of the day was a succession of a few really great matches, most of which were played simultaneously: Freitas-Fegerl, Wang Yang-Walther, Kou Lei-Olah, Jorgic-Karlsson, Robles-Apolonia and Duda-Gauzy. Terrific atmosphere.

Unfortunately most people left after the singles and didn't stay for the mixed dubs final. Most people remaining were members of the Austrian or German teams.

That's hysterical.

Put your house on the Swedes to make the final. Ruwen/Walther have no chance against them - completely mismatched.
