Challenger Series

[T!Christian]

Did Demeter won? He plays in Austria, i often saw him playing, he's a pretty nice dude

 

[Michal_Z]

Yeah, he won!
Funny thing, he lost first 2 sets and then won all other 11:8
He has really awesome backhand and also forehand..
He only lost to Vráblík I think and he ended up 5th

 

[Michal_Z]

And Keinath, world ranked best out of that 8 people, who played, ended last.
He got injured, though, but still even without injury, in the group he was last too..

 

[T!Christian]

Interesting! Thank you for the update. Who would have thought Lehel wins against this competition

 

[Michal_Z]

Aha.. I have mistaken it with the semifinal, there he came back from 0:2

Here is the semifinal:

Second semifinal:

And then the final:

Hehe, I cant help myself, but I love it when Hořejší loses..
