Btw guys, FULL results click HERE

I wasn't expecting that. I looked at the rankings the other day and Gionis is world ranked at 21. Very good!

Is it just group stage matches again today?

[MDanielCRO]

Mattenet glasses, wtf?

 

[Michal_Z]

looks like Samsonov out
http://ettu.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=8BA7D9D1-0909-44A2-B30B-B48173E42400&draw=8

Yep.. Monteiro needed just one game from Samsonov and he got it..
He got it with luck, but got it..
So from group C its Gionis and Monteiro.

From group B its Freitas with 3:0 and Mattenet with 2:1.
And from group D its Gardos with 3:0 and Apolonia with 2:1.

Group A is about to be decided. Ovtcharov already with 2 wins is safely through and he plays Par Gerell who needs to win to get through.
Other match is Gacina vs. Gauzy, Gacina already lost both matches and Gauzy lost to Dima and won over Gerell.. If Gauzy loses and Dima wins, this will be interesting with Gacina, Gauzy and Gerell with 2 loses and one win Who will get through?

 

[Michal_Z]

So, no big surprise, Gauzy won easily 3:0 and so did Dima. So from group a its Dima with 3:0 and Gauzy with 2:1..

Main draw for men not out yet, but women already set to play in 15 minutes from now..
And its here: http://ettu.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=8BA7D9D1-0909-44A2-B30B-B48173E42400&draw=5

Liu Jia vs. Kristin Silbereisen,
Georgina Pota vs. Li Jiao,
Hu Melek vs. Petrissa Solja
Irene Ivancan vs. Jiaduo Wu

I expect guys to be drawn pretty soon and also I think they will play first matches today, so tomorrow they can play semifinals and finals and finish the tournament.

 

[Michal_Z]

So the main draw is out!
http://ettu.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=8BA7D9D1-0909-44A2-B30B-B48173E42400&draw=10

Dimitrij Ovtcharov vs. Adrien Mattenet
Tiago Apolonia vs. Gionis Panagiotis
Robert Gardoš vs. Simon Gauzy
Joao Monteiro vs. Marcos Freitas

This is too bad for Portugal, that their 2 players meet in first round.
Dima vs. Mattenet will be funny match I expect

And according to the schedule, after quarterfinals there will be 4 more matches for best of 5-8 positions..
