Chuang Chih Yuan against Jun Mizutani was a sensational match. Chuang saved many match points in the fifth game and then led a 6-1 lead in the seventh set. The crowd thought it was over. Jun Mizuani remained calm and focussed and managed to win the match 12-10. Jun beat Chuang by 4 games to 3: 11-3, 11-7, 4-11, 11-7, 16-18, 4-11, 12-10.
The atmosphere was intense when Adrien Mattenet and Vladimir Samsonov stepped into the arena. The match was full of exciting rallies and the packed French crowd gave it their all!
Samsonov looked like he had the game in the bag in fifth set, however things took a turn for the worst for Vladimir. Mattenet's coach Stephane Hucliez gave the young Frenchmen some inspiration and managed to make him tick! Mattenet from then on played the game of his life!
A police escort through the Arc de Triomphe was demanded at the end of the match due to 100's of children running for autographs!
Adrien Mattenet quoted that he played the game of his life! Taken by the ittf.com “An amazing day, the best day of my life”, continued a stunned Frenchman. “The home crowd, unbelievable, they went crazy; in the seventh game I was not thinking about any tactics, I was just playing on instinct; now I must try to be calm, save my energy.”
Awesome rally from the event!
