[Matt Hetherington]

I hope Kirill beats Joo in the 3rd round for me!

NO! it won't occur haha. And yes lack of sleep as usual :S

 

[TT Guru]

Perhaps Omar Assar will knock all their proverbial socks off...
He's on the fast track to earning ttGuru's outstanding player award, which he would be blissfully unaware of.

 

[WiWa]

The Japanese youngsters are off to a good start.
Yohimura beats Shibaev and Niwa beats Franziska

 

[azlan]

Persson is there, and he is BIG! haha

Yeah, you're quite right Anders....I love watching him play. So much experience, and he's not going to roll over and play dead.

 

[YosuaYosan]

Dang, that Kenta vs Filus match is one the most intense fight with some rally-of-the-year quality rallies
Probably TTGuru should nominate him!

I hope the vid got uploaded @ YouTube, its one fine match!

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Should be fun. I am looking for some surprising upsets. Where will they come from?

 

[Matt Hetherington]

they'll come from below of course! haha gosh i'm so behind I should be blogging all this. Task for the day...

 

[dici]

Just have a look on the result, there so many upset game over women singles there. Looks like china just send a group of new raising star team over women side...

U21 Quarter Final

Quentin Robinot vs Ahmet Li

 

[Rhydian]

Thanks Geca
Ahmet Li was dominating 3-0 but played a bit lazy so that Quentin Robinot could come to a tie, 3-3.
Nice points, thanks

Yeah Dici, it would be interesting to see how they square up in a big pro tour like this. I think it's a great opportunity for them to prove themselves, and to the senior nationals. With China ladies being so dominant, do you think they can be considered as underdogs? Even if it's the 2nd team?

Mizutani-Chuang was an amazing match! Lots of great rallies and comebacks.

 

[Bollforte94]

I can't dicide who will win this final. I like both and both deserved to win a pro tour title. So I just hope it will be a very good match with a lot of good rallys

 

[YosuaYosan]

Great tour
Too bad Ryu and Kim lose in the final

Joo's loss is just another stepstone for me and all defenders to develop great backhand bites

Check out 1:37 - 2:10 whether they are playing around or not I don't know, Joo also twiddle around, but his backhand slaps and use of pips is deadly that way..

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

I think, ultimately, it was Ryu's hair style and color that was his undoing. I think the tint was just a little off. Either that or Jun was too much for him. Good to see Ryu get to a finals though and good to see Jun win one. It is unfortunate that his game, because of how he likes to back up and play defense, does not work against the Chinese Team. But, this is a good win for Jun.

 

[liontoxicator]

Feng Yalan won the womens finals.
Jun Mizutani won the mens finals.

I was there,and i got Joo Se Hyuk,Feng Yalan,Jun Mizutani autographs,and this is by far the happiest day of my life,will be posting photo's shortly,hope my match results helped break the stress.

 

[Rainer87]

Great final, what a footwork by both players. A lot of smashing and lobbing, both were very good in both.

Very true Rainer! I loved the way Ryu would lob and try and get his forehand in. So much tactics were involved in that game! Amazing! Loved it!

Here is the final in highlights
