At the QOROS World Championships in Suzhou, Liam PITCHFORD of England reached the Round of 32 in the Men’s Singles Event. He beat Tiago APOLONIA of Portugal in six games.

Jonathan GROTH of Denmark joined him after victory over Lubomir JANCARIK of Czech Republic. “It was a really tough match but I won, so right now I feel relieved and really happy. Before the tournament, my goal was to reach the second round, and now I am in the last 32 so I am excited,” said GROTH.

Panagiotis GIONIS of Greece overcame Grigory VLASOV of Russia. “It was an easy match. I had some difficulties in the third game after 2:0 lead. He came close, I made some easy mistakes, but all came into place at the end,” said GIONIS. However, GIONIS was not in best of his mood after the match. Tomorrow he will play against MA Long.

Timo BOLL of Germany overcame Jakub DYJAS of Poland world’s 127 ranked player. At one point he was 2:1 down. “I think he played really good, really good control of the ball, especially on my top spins. Not so many players, especially young players, have a control over my topspin and he is one of these guys. It was a really tough game for me. We met for a first time and I was not sure how he plays.”

Stefan FEGERL of Austria beat his compatriot Robert GARDOS to join him, whilst Joao MONTEIRO of Portugal accounted for Kristian KARLSSON of Sweden.
