Just like the top-ranking Chuqin yesterday, Lin Shidong had no problems in second place to log in a 3-0 win to go to the Tour of 32. He will be confronted opposite Shunsuke Togami, who eliminates the American Kanak JHA earlier today. With JHHA in the HerenSchaatel and Lily Zhang and Amy Wang in the ladies’ stretch, Teamusa was represented – but none of our players reached the round of 32 (with Zhang lost yesterday, and JHA and Wang fall today).
Yesterday there were a number of disturbances and the same script followed today. Tomokazu Harimoto fell 3-2 to 20-year-old Chinese qualifying match Chen Junsong (no. 111). In the same part of the trek, Oh Junsung of the Republic of Korea, Dang Qiu disturbed, perhaps a path to make an underdog to go all the way to the quarterfinals.
Felix Lebrun had no trouble getting forward will be confronted with Chen Yuanyu, who hit Dimitrij Ovtcharov 3-2. Felix’s brother Alexis was not so lucky, he fell 3-1 for Eduard Ionescu. Moregard, Assar, UDA and Lin Yun-Ju are all advanced as expected. Yuan Licen took Anton Kallberg out and No continued to look at another Swede, Kristian Karlsson.
The day 1 of the region included Benedikt Duda who lost to Feng Yi-Hsin, Flavien Cotton about Xu Yingbin and Milosz Redzimski about Lee Sang Su. Six of the top eight seeds have improved, but we are convinced that some new faces and new match-ups are progressing during the week.
